03.13: Ayala

‘Give the people here a chance Ayala,’ Noah suggested. He suspected that where she came from was not the problem. But when. No doubt the ‘dults had come to that conclusion too. ‘We do not understand you and you do not understand us.’ Noah paused and gave a small smile. ‘That’s a pretty good thing to realise you know. We all know we have to learn. We will all make mistakes. But they will be mistakes from innocence not malice.’
‘Those things from home will be precious. I have nothing from my home. But I know where my home is and some time I can visit. So I am lucky. But you will have all your own stuff. I give you my word.’
Noah didn’t know if they would let her keep a spear but he saw no reason not to.
‘All the students…’ She might not know that word even translated. ‘All the younger people here are lost too. None of them started here. They all lost their homes, their families, their friends. Me too.’
