The kid had begun to rip bits off the jerky, and Johannes realized with some worry--maybe it was too tough for him, in his state. If they had to, they could soak it in water; there was other food back at the lodge, too. He wasn't sure about the rips in his clothing; except that it was obvious it was not going to help in this cold climate. Were his clothes too tight? Johannes frowned a bit as Aris wrapped the jerky up, and then his eyes narrowed upon seeing the herbs. That wasn't good. Not even a kid could live on dried plants like that. "...That...that's not...food. You can't just--eat that." He looked up, meeting Aris' eyes. "Okay, look. You--you haven't had enough to eat. You look--you look sick. Let us--let us take you back, okay? To the lodge? We--I don't know about your family, but--but we have food and--and beds, and--it's safe." Safer than out here anyway. He couldn't--there was no way he was leaving Aris out here.

[i]'...That...that's not...food. You can't just--eat that.'
He looked down at the bag in confusion, was it because they thought it tasted bad? Aris opened the bag, taking out a piece of jerky before...dipping it in the herbs? He looked to be scooping a small bit of it on there before sticking the jerky in his mouth and just slowly chewing on it. It was pretty tough but it did give him something to do. The baggie was closed before being put into the larger bag. He then put all the stuffed animals back in their place, buckling the bag back up.
Then the man spoke again, they wanted to take him somewhere else. To their lodge. He was..sick? They had food, and they said it was safe. Yet one thing confused him, causing him to haphazardly bite off whatever he'd been chewing on and look at Johannes with a puzzled expression.
[b]"Beds?.."
//yep. you heard it here folks, Aris has never slept in a real bed, much less heard anything about them.

 A small boy standing at 4'7". Due to lack of survival tactics, he's 58.2 pounds. His entire body is sickly looking, knobby knees and ribs showing through clothes two sizes too small. He's got a mess of knotted, mousey brown-blond, curly hair, with brown eyes almost as dark has his pupils. Clothing style is pretty casual, but he seems to have a large expanse of bowties and a bag he will not let anyone else look in or have.
 major injuries: Starving, partially dehydrated
 minor injuries: none
 face claim: Thomas Brodie-Sangster
Personality:
 Aris due to events in the past, was a true pacifist for most of his life in the Union. He's also very outgoing, trying his best to be there for new joiners no matter what conditions he's under mentally or physically. This event also resurfaced his monophobia. Mono 'feeds' off of solitude and therefore to control them becoming a stronger presence in his life, Aris forces himself to be friendly and outgoing when in reality he is very shy. If he does this it allows him to contain Mono, as he doesn't feel like the family he has are going to leave him. He's clingy and deathly loyal as well. If someone allows him to cling onto them without leaving him he will be loyal to them until the ends of the Earth, this can be very dangerous because who knows what kind of people will take advantage of this.
Interaction:
▪ Easy physically | Easy mentally
▪ No kill/capture/maim without permission | Powerplaying peaceful actions allowed
▪ Will not start or end fights | Shows mercy always
▪ To attack, [member=3709]Aris[/member] and attack in #AE594F
Johannes watched him carefully; glad to see that he was eating the jerky, and as he was still crouching, pretty much on eye level with the kid. He blinked rapidly, with equal confusion--why were beds a point of interest? They were just beds. "...Yes? So you can sleep? Not--not on the ground. So it's..comfortable. Yeah?"

So they had blankets and pillows. Hm, he had his own blanket but it had seen better days. He looked down at it, grabbing it off the floor and shaking it out off to the side, away from Johannes. Pulling it over his bag he started to chew on the jerky again, pulling the stick out from under his arm to use it as a cane again.
Aris gave the group a nod, he was ready to go. Even if he didn't think he'd stay, he might as well go with them. After all, they'd given him food.

"All right. Good--lets go, okay?" He held out his hand, a bit hesitant, but--he could help them get back to the Lodge. It looked like ARis didn't have a problem coming back with them, thank god.
