Raeen

"I'll stay." The kid spoke for the first time, and thankfully it was for something favorable for me.

Also, it seems like martial arts and fighting are triggers for him, so I need to be looking into it later on. Then again, I got someone by my side who could explain the shit to me, so I believe I'm saved that way.

"Good. I mean, good for you. You're not gonna be regretting that decision of yours. I promise you that." I spoke, to which he nodded his head.

"This is… something." Maurice mumbled at that point.

"Hmm? What is it?" I turned towards Maurice and asked.

"Well, it's nothing. I just expected him to turn down your offer and leave, you know? And much to my surprise, he actually agreed. That's nice." Maurice spoke.

"Yea, I guess that's nice and all." I muttered before turning my attention back towards the kid. "Hey, kid? You got a name or something?" I asked.

"Raeen. My name is Raeen." He spoke.
