"Do you like the ducklings, too?" Humble Hopes Academy: the place for little's to thrive and learn - all while staff work to match them with their forever caregiver.

The garden was thriving, the summer months bringing forth a multitude of blossoming fruits, vegetables, and flowers. Abel's fingers brushed along a particularly gorgeous bloom, lips twitching upward as the sun hit his skin. It was perfect. The care he put into his garden was undeniable, the proof before him and creeping up the side of the academy wall.

"Ah!"

Abel blinked slowly, broken from his reverie as Tobias's voice echoed through the open space. His smile fell quickly, expression returning to its ever present neutrality as he began to follow the voice of the Gold room caretaker.

"Where did you go?"

Step. Step. Step.

The dirt crunched beneath his polished shoes.

The headmaster brushed past a particularly large willow tree, his eyes falling on the small open space with a pond front and center. Beside the pond sat a hand-crafted bench Abel had custom made for the space, one of the few places he found utter peace in. Especially when the eggs hatched and ducklings sprung forth, fed seeds by his very hands. It was Abel's quiet place, the spot he'd come to relax and think; think on his life, his past, his family, his need for more.

But there, sitting on his private bench and tossing handfuls of the seeds he hand picked for the wildlife, was a little he had only seen in passing.

"What are you doing, little one?"

Abel called out, voice a soothing melody and dripping like honey as he approached his private bench now sat on by a face he couldn't look away from.
