Don't be Afraid of the Dark

Here is an older Kubo. Maybe he grows up to be a travelling storyteller.

闇が潜んている

NO MINE HAS TO BE UNDER YOURS

"S'not my fault you make it so difficult to get comfortable."

They landed some distance from a pond, Elphaba could hear the ducks. And so, it would seem, could Lucas as he excitedly jumped off the broom and started running towards the sound. As she raced after him, she called out for him to slow down, but in his excitement he didn’t listen and ended up skidding to a stop scant inches from the water. Elphaba managed to slow down well before reaching the pond and slowly walked up to him as he backed away from the water. Picking him up, she turned him so he was looking her in the eye. “You really need to stop running off like that,” she scolded.

The creature was followed by what appeared to be a woman with a broom in one hand and a pointed hat in the other. The witch-like items were only complimented by her green skin. Repliku watched curiously as she picked up the small animal and scolded it gently. The silverette cocked his head to the side curiously, regarding the woman with a tiny smile. “Hello.”

Lucas, for his part, stuck to Elphaba’s side. He had learned to not get too close to strangers until they proved themselves friendly.

The silver-haired teen gestured towards Lucas, eyes bright. It wasn't everyday he saw a green woman with an odd creature. People like that weren't uncommon where he was from, but it had been a long time since he'd left.

“Earth…Never heard of it.” Roxas stared, deadpanned expression on his face. Why was the man backing up? Roxas wouldn’t hurt him unless he tried to hurt him. Self defense and all that. “…Yeah I’m okay. Why do you ask?”

Thanks, Dee. You just made this post better
