Three days later.
Early morning, Farkam Town, Arjam.
Javier hummed to himself as he waited in the courtyard, the first rays of morning light catching on his orange Pekko's feathers.
He grinned, glancing up at his bright orange Pekko. "Ehehehe! We're going home today, Buddy! Ah, I can't wait...I missed my workshop."
"Cuquawked!" Buddy replied, chest puffed out. The other Pekko followed, squawking in chorus, their feathers gleaming in the morning light.
Javier glanced back at the house, brow furrowed.
Ugh, where are they? I told everyone yesterday,we're moving out at first light so we can reach Armand Border Town in an hour or two. I wanted to take my time, maybe stop for some grilled meat along the way…
He looked up at the sky, letting the breeze wake him up fully.
