Re-friendship

Lark looked up at Aldin with his grim expression still on.

“Aldin there is something we need to tell you,” Lark said looking at Xander who gave them an approving look.

“What is it?” Aldin asked, his voice deep with worry. Seeing him in pain broke their hearts. Lark looked for the words to say, but he could not find any.

“Aldin, you are adopted,” Sylvia said.

Aldin was shocked.

“Is that what you wanted to say?” Aldin said with great relief in his voice and in that moment Sylvia and Lark's anxiety broke over the roof.

“What?!” They both asked confused.

“I already knew, the people in the city sure talk a lot and I heard what they said about what happened, I am sorry you had to go through all that,” Aldin said.

Xander, Lark and Sylvia were both shocked to hear this.

“I have very sensitive hearing so it was not hard to hear what they said,” Aldin said explaining everything.
