Summary
She can only laugh. Here, a scarred, red-faced child with nothing but scraggly robes, crying about not understanding how he could help her. "Some things can't be helped by intent alone," she expresses gently, covering the hand touching her face.
"I don't get it, A-Niang said that intentions help."
"Your A-Niang was a bit naive then," she smiles helplessly, taking the hand off her face gently covering it and warming it back to a normal temp.
She lets go and stands, "Are you ready to go to your new home?"
The child nods and together they stride away from a flimsy hay mat in the snow-covered, muddied alleyway. Two straw figures were held in the child's arms with a faded painted flowered rattle drum in his hand. The child's greyed sash held together the mangled robes with a broken bell clumsily tied with a dirty red ribbon.
