Tollank was beaming while his feet sat in the water, this place was magical. Tollank always enjoyed nature, even more so after his mutation manifested. Nature as a whole is usually never a quiet place. From bird chirping, to rivers lapping against their shores, all the way to a deer pleading for help as a pack of wolves tears it away from its family group to bite its soft neck so it will bleed out so the pack may eventually feed upon its carcass, nature is a noisy place. Whenever Tollank went outside he had no trouble seeing, and he loved every second of it. And if it happened to be raining as well? Well that was a whole other world of sight. Suddenly's Tollanks dream-like state was interrupted by the sound of the door that they entered in slamming shut. The noise the door made offered a pretty good picture as to the area around it, but something was off. There didn't seem to be anyone on either side of the door. Tollank then noticed that Leon and Aeria had walked up behind him.

"Hey did you guys just hear the door shut? I couldn't see anybody coming or going though, did either of you guys?" Tollank turned his upper bod around to face his two companions. "Either way you guys should at least dip your feet in, the water feels great!" Tollank turned back around to look at the river once again. "Where I'm from, we didn't have places like this. We had farmland, long stretches of flat ground and we planted crops on. There were a few clusters of trees here or there, but nothing that I would ever call a forest. Growing up I heard stories of other places, with trees that touch the sky, and water as far as the eye can see. I never got to see them myself, hell I don't even know if they were just stories, but they gave me hope. Hope that I would get away from that damn farm, with its endless chores and my father prattling on." Tollank clenches his hands onto fists, accidentally pulling up clumps of grass in the process. "He said I got in the way, that a blind boy was no good to him. Mother was the one that loved me, not him. But then she left, the ones that love ALWAYS LEAVE!" Tollank's voice echoed through the park, reverberating off of the walls. Tollank turned around to face his friends, "I....I am so sorry....I....I don't know what came over me...." Tollank didn't want to drive away his new friends with all of his emotional baggage.
