For a moment, the girl looked Hawk, unable to decide whether she'll be amused or take pity on him. For how can a child, older than her, know none about making apologies. Does he have no parents that teach him good manners?
Perhaps she's lucky, her father never fell short on reminding her how to act and be kind to other people.
"Well not bad," She told him, hiding the amusement inside her. "You are a fast learner,"
"I am?" For no reason, the girl's compliment made Hawk proud of himself. It was like for once, he had accomplished something good in his young life. He didn't know why but there was some kind of need in him to make the girl see him in a different light. He was aware he didn't do well the first time they met and he wanted to change that.
"So we're okay now?" Hawk clarified.
The girl nodded. Then she went on her way. "Well I have to get going. You can tell the boys that were now good so they'll allow you to play with them"
"Hey wait!" Hawk followed her.
