Lost

[Cale Stark]

It was worth using his star's energy reserve to see the look on Taz's face. Chuckling when the kid tackled him and knocked him back into the tree, Stark patted the kid's back and slid an arm around the younger male's shoulders. "Don' see why not. Oi'll have to speak to Xiomara and its colder than ye think, but we'll take ye with us. It'll be good fer ye. And oi'll teach ye how to go sleddin'."

The flurry burst in a rain of ice crystals. In his bag he pulled out a cup one handed and caught a few, some sprinkles of snow and he began to shave the ice with the blade of his ax. After a while he poured out red strawberry flavoring and gave it to Taz to eat with a spoon included. "Ere, 'ave yer first snowcone kid. It's sweet."

[Taz]

Blinked , he took the treat and tried. Shivering at the cold of it but grinned wider at the sweet taste, he had never tried anything like it, he leaned into the taller man, this was a side that no one had seen, he had never been this happy before as he almost clung to the man now, he couldn't help but grin wide. "Stark and Mara look after me though so I'm not scared anymore" His tone had also changed, showing how child like he really was, he had held no child hood till now and it was thanks to the man before him that he had any happiness to look forwards to. "Thank you Oniisama!"

[Cale Stark]

Stark was at a loss yet again, the terminology foreign but he hoped it was better than old man. Chuckling he mussed up Taz's hair. "Yeah, yeah. Yer goin' make me blush, kid. Ye ain't never been anywhere?" He still remembered the disturbing tail of being raised in a lab. No creature should be forced to endure that.

"Taz, how 'bout ye telk me where this lab is and Oi'll take Xiomara with me and destroy it? Then ye can be free to go wherever ye like." Solemnly and serious he looked down at the boy, awaiting his response.

[Taz]

Shook his head, fear crept into his face now, pure fear and backed up sharply. He could not bring anyone there more so not Mara or Stark, that would be a suicide mission in itself and he was not willing to place anyone in that place, it was much to dangerous, he was not underestimating the two, he hated that place as he looked down, scratching at his arm slightly. "I can not take big brother to place of death, it's not easy, they have more things there that will kill without need" He was shaking just at the mention of the place.
