As the ponies pulled to a stop, a smile of relief grazed Crispin's face. He jumped from the wagon before it had even come to a complete stop, landing in the grass.

He sat on a small rock (which he regretted when he had a sore bottom the next day) and waited for the rest of his family to emerge from the wagon with their small meal. He noticed his uncle Marcho approach, so he waved and pushed his annoying hair from his eyes. He drifted out of thought, taking in the surroundings. Instantaneously, he jumped with shock when he thought he heard the name 'Iris'. "Hmmm? Iris?" Alora raised her eyebrow, but shook her head and went on.

"I know I 'eard that name," He searched the group for anyone that could have possibly said Iris. "I shoulda talked to her Papa an' convinced him to come with his family. It would 'ave been a lot more fun than it already is if Iris woulda come. I mean, it's really fun an' all, but Iris woulda made it a whole lot better... she's so pretty..." He stopped when he heard giggles behind him.

A short, pudgy girl was giggling behind him, one hand in the pocket of her calico dress. The other's index finger was pointing directly at Crispin. He looked around, pretending he didn't know who or what she was pointing at. "Aww... 'she's so pretty'!" The Boffin girl laughed and ran off.

"Opal!! Ack...," He rubbed his temples and clenched his fist. Reaching one hand into his pocket, Crispin nodded in acceptance that his slingshot was where it should be. He may have to use it on this journey for things other than hunting.
