tw: blood, violence, injuries, abandonment, abuse
The eight year old sat in the furthest corner from anyone, they weren't certain what to think of this place yet, and while they trusted some of the members, they were still nervous, scared even. Not of the members, but of what the members thought of them. Echo wasn't very confident in their self, didn't find much to be happy about in their existence, didn't see that there were any good qualities in them that others might like.
It was a difficult existence for the underweight child, always feeling like they were out of place, in the way, doing something wrong. But that was how they'd grown up. They still saw the world as a mostly good place though, and they really believed that everyone had good in them, had kindness in their heart. Perhaps they had to believe this in order to continue on.
Or, perhaps they truly believed everyone was worthy of love, happiness, hope, and the like. Whatever, and why they believed what they believed, Echo was here now, curled up with their arms around their knees, rocking back and forth and listening to Hayley speak in silence. The other reason for being far away from everyone, was so that they were not near any of the canine inhabitants of the lodge.
While they believed when Tomorrow said that Claire was not dangerous, there were other dogs, other animals who might hurt them. And they were too scared to say something about it... they didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings by telling him or her that they were afraid of a dog that accompanied him or her. Swallowing quietly, they rocked themself back and forth, waiting for the lady to continue.
