One evening after practice on Akillen has he often did now was join Artegor to the older man's home. Over the times they had done this, things had become more relaxed after training they could speak to each other but tonight Micro-Ice asked if he could come over to speak more seriously to the older man, Artegor agreed. The snow of Akillen has all ways blown and froze the world around them. The two males arrived at Artegor's home at the edge of the town. Artegor invited Micro-Ice to sit has he sat on an opposite chair and placed his shades wearily on the table had Micro-ice sat opposite him. You seen troubled today young man, is the training to much for you? Artegor speaks in his usual fashion. Micro –Ice remains silent. You were the one who chose to come here and speak with me weren't you? Micro-Ice begins , Please Sir before I start I want you to promise that you will listen to me fully without interruption and that you also promise that you will not harm me after I am finished, and that if what I say or ask is not spread around to anyone. If what I say hurts you I will leave and never bother you personally again and continue our professional relationship has previous. A short silence is felt and the fire that had stared crackled before Artegor relaxes in his chair and offers a soft, of course. Micro-Ice takes a deep breath and begins. life at home with Mama-Ice has always been troubled, for I get into trouble and you yourself says I am a very willful boy at times and do deserve punishment. But Mama-Ice has always struggled with finding work and raising me if my Father hadn't left her to raise me alone then maybe I would be more socially developed like the other boys Arch has always been close with D'Jok and Mayra and given them support. Mama Ice boyfriends have never been very helpful he said flatly and remains silent looking at the ground for many minutes before starting again quietly. But I have always craved what you have given me in our Private time together and that's the advice of an older man and just liesning to what and how I think. And well you also didn't beat me with the belt like Mama-Ice does when I do bad things like wet the bed, D'jok knows but he helps to cover me from Arch, Arch is kind of old in the belief that a boy needs a belting to turn out right. But when you came you didn't belt me or scold me you took me to see Dame Simbia and I got help my problems. They weren't physical but psychological I have a lot of baggage from just being me and living and I am getting better Simbia says I have been acting out less and I have more focus. He continues to say red faced I have been bed wetting less it usually only happened when I stressed but since we began meeting like we have I been so relaxed that I have only had one accident in 5 weeks Simbia says that's great improvement I have been meeting with her more for talks but Arch gets angry he says talking is for girls and little boys. Artegor takes the faint fading of Micro-Ices words has the end and begins to think of what to say and where this all leads. Until Micro-Ice begins again.
