When I became a man, I set aside childish ways.

The Bull wasn't sure how he was supposed to settle in, but he would... find a way. He lived in the same building as Dorian, and that brought some small comfort. Cremisius was here somewhere, and that-- he didn't know how to deal with that yet. Instead he tried to learn he city. If he was stuck here he wanted to know every corner of it. It gave him something to focus on.

That was how he found himself in the park, near a playground, with a dozen children running around. He saw only a few adults that seemed to be tending them, and though they were all human (as far as he could tell), all he could think of were the tamassrans and their charges. He could almost remember being a rambunctious child. Ashkaari, they'd called him then.

Bull says that I'm being kind, that's good, I think being kind is a good thing. They're teaching us how to be kind and share at School, when we do that then we can make lots of friends. Bull says that he wants to be friends with that person again.

I didn't know that people can stop being friends.

"I think... I think you're a really nice person so I think you're a really nice friend, too," I say to Bull. "I think your friend will want to be friends with you again. He just needs to get better first."

"I probably haven't always been a good person." He'd never lied to the core group of the Chargers, he'd told them what and who he was. But since he lost them the question of if he could have - should have - done more plagued his nightmares. But the Qun demanded it. How could he do anything less?

"Maybe," he said. "I think all I can do is give him time to figure it out on his own."

Was he really having this conversation with a child?

Bull says he hasn't always been a good person. I know that people make mistakes, but Grandma said that even if people do bad things, if they say sorry and they fix it next time then they're probably not all bad. Like Old Nick was all bad because he didn't feel sorry about tricking Ma, he tricked her and then kept her in Room for a really long time. But Bull seems nice now and I think he looks like he's sorry to his friend.

"Um, if you say sorry and... and try to do more nice things, if you have a good heart, then you're a good person now I think," I say, and I come down a little more. "I hope things will be okay with you and your friend. Because I think we're more happy when we have our friends close."
