Mihai looked at Toboe sadly. He scooted down against the tree trunk to reach out his good hand to pat the boy on the shoulder comfortingly.

"I know a little how you feel. I got separated from my friends for a long time, and that's even before coming to this place. It's hard, being apart from the people you care about. Even if they can be pains in the ass sometimes." He chuckled.

For the second question, Mihai paused. "It's a little sad, back at home. And it's cold. And... busy, of late." He looked up at the clouds that Toboe was watching. "It's nice to be able to relax a little here."
