Listening but Maddening Part 2

Flowers on his mother's chest was not something he wanted to see, ever. "Me? You got dirty because of me?" Mrs. Thax asked gently. "No... I snuck away from big brother when he was checking on the pelts. Then I went up the flowery hill with the stream and worked on the wreath." Donte admitted.

"So you were being sneaky and scared your brother?" Mrs. Thax asked as she tried to sit up. Davion composed himself and moved to help his mother sit. "When he found me, I got scared. I knew I was gonna get a spanking, so I ran." Donte replied. Mrs. Thax let out a small laugh. Davion could feel his mood lighten when he heard the laugh.

She sounded so youthful and lively as she laughed but his eyes shifted to her right leg. "I accidently dropped your gift when I ran. So I turned around and tried to run back but I tripped." Donte said with a shaky voice. "Ahh." Mrs. Thax said calling Davion's attention. "So your brother probably panicked and jumped to protect you?" Mrs. Thax asked.
