Reconsider his life choices? He wondered if one of them was being less chipper this early in the morning. Still Kristian lifted up a leaf after he sat down. He cocked his head to the side, letting his white hair brush across his shoulder and he gave a wide grin.

“Collecting leaves,” he told Travis, “I like their design.” he said lifting the leaf away from Travis face and towards the sky, “Their delicate design. Makes you consider the existence of God.” He scrunches his face up and then stares at Travis.

He nervously spins the leaf around in his hand. It’s delicate star shaped spinning at the stem like nature’s ballerina in those music boxes. He could remember a faint tune he once heard when he was small, muddled by the sounds of nothing.

“Do you believe in God Travis?” Kristian asked him, “It seems like everyone has their own interpretations. I am curious. Maybe because that’s what I was thinking about when I was walking and looking at the leaves. I just said that.” He gave a meek and nervous laugh. Trying to shy away from being gazed at. Swinging his legs a little as they dangled just above the edge of the bench and over the soil.
