Jared got his plate of food, letting those at the counter know that Ekene was with him, and led the young boy to a seat. Ekene's story resonated with Jared. He was one of those that Ekene thought was bad luck - the suwa'ye.
The fever - it had to be the sickness. What would Ekene do if he knew. So far, the majority of the locals were very superstitious. One day, he hoped that Ekene would understand that they weren't bad luck - they just didn't know how to control their gift, and a gift it was.
"You were worried about Ms. Grey."
Jared said, taking a bite of the sandwich in front of him. The food itself helped revitalize. "It speaks very highly of you that you put her needs in such a light."
Jared smiled, once again remembering the scared little boy he had first met. Jared wished he had something to give him - a toy or something that Ekene could enjoy. It was sad that Ekene had to grow up so fast. He should be able to just be a child.
