The silence persisted a long and uncomfortable moment before Enitan reached out a hand.
"Who are you? Why were your own people chasing you?"
The soldier looked up with narrowed eyes and a puzzled look, sounding out Enitan's words syllable by syllable with a rough and uncertain voice. Then finally the recognition, the realization and understanding. Slowly, the soldier spoke,
"My name is Luka. There is no time, we must leave for the others approach. The babe,"
the soldier's words have a strange lilt to them, pausing to remember words from a long-forgotten tongue, accented strangely, with an archaic pronunciation.
"My brother's child. And your people's. More, I will explain later."
Luka groaned and stood up, looking around. Enitan looked too, for he had no idea where to go. Deeper into the forest? Along the treeline and exit somewhere else? Or abandon this mystery and this child? But when he saw Luka and the baby, he knew he couldn't. Enitan would not let an innocent die like this.
