Jared smiled at Ekene and his concern - it was a big change for the boy from when he met him before. "I'm fine, just a little tired,"
he said, kneeling down so he was at the boy's level.
Ekene looked different than he had before, more confident perhaps. The fact that Ekene had approached him said a lot and Jared wondered what had changed in the boy's demeanor. Young Ekene had been through more than people twice his age should have experienced, and Jared was glad to see that Ekene was okay.
"You look well,"
Jared said. "And it is good to see you again. I was just going to get some food if you would like to join me."
Whether or not Ekene did go get food, Jared's words were sincere. It was good to see Ekene again. Jared was glad that he didn't number among the casualties.
