“I do like to be up high so I can see far,” admitted Jaxx, “but I also climbed up

here so I could check on you.”

“Check on me?” Carl asked.

“Yes,” Jaxx said, smiling. “I could see Macaw talking to you, and you looked sad.

I know Macaw, and I didn’t want him bothering you. I knew he would leave

when I came over. He has a very negative and toxic personality, and he can wear

out even the best of people over time.”

“Thanks,” said Carl, “I’m glad you came.”

“You’re welcome,” said Jaxx as he climbed down. “I have to run now, but I’ll see

you tomorrow.”

“I’ll be here,” said Carl.
