*laying face down in the dirt* yeah, why do you ask?
*frowns, but kneels down and pats his shoulder* You’re in the dirt, buddy. Come on… get up.
i don’t really wanna.. *he mumbles, shifting so he can at least see Carlos*
A bed will be much more comfortable, and cleaner, I promise. *he smiles at Max when the kid looks at him*
i thought about it but part of me is afraid to move.. *he wipes dirt and tears off his face*
*Carlos’ smile drops* I’m sorry to hear that, buddy… want me to carry you?
*he shrugs* i guess.. probably better then laying in the dirt for hours…
*he rolls Max into one arm and once he has a hold on the boy he stands up, cradling him close* Let’s get you to your tent, pal, huh?
*he loosely clung to Carlos as he stood up, still shaking softly as he nodded* ..okay
*Carlos rubs Max’s shoulder as he walks him over to his tent.* Do you have a different shirt you can change into so you don’t get dirt in your cot?
no.. all the others got wrecked so i had to get rid of them *he sighed softly* i’ve been meaning to get new ones
Oh… well, that’s something we’ll do soon. At least take off your hoodie so you don’t overheat, okay buddy? *he carries Max into the tent and gently sets him down on the cot*
