Dora and Neriah

"Neriah has not visited us for a very long time now, I hope he is fine," Dora sighed as she cleared the table.

"He must be busy with other stuffs," Archi told her.

"Hm, I think so. I mean.. he almost never stays away for this long," she sighed.

"Why are you worried? He is fine. You are not thinking something bad has happened to him right?"

She nodded, "that is exactly what I am thinking," she bit her lips embarrassed.

Archi smiled, "why not look for him then? He lives in the woods right?"

"Yes."

"Since you miss him so much, go look for him," he shrugged.

"I guess you are right," she smiled nervously.

She was dons clearing the table.

"Where is your father?"

"He is at the back of the house. He said he was strategizing."

She smiled sadly, "I hope his strategy eventually works," she muttered.
