" OVERTHINKING "

We followed John to a small house.

It had a kitchen ( how do lions cook ? ) a small living room ( no tv of course ) with a fire and an extra room with two beds.

- Ya'll are sleeping in that room, I'll sleep on the couch. - said John.

I tought it's wierd that me and Luka have to sleep in the same room, but I mean at least we aren't sleeping in the same bed. I thought how the winged lions were the second most powerfull non human creatures in the whole world ( this world, as in the fantasy world where phones and crap don't exist ), but looked like an avarage town.

Well, apart from the waterfalls, hills, rivers and outstanding scenery in general. Everyone just lived in peace and the houses were all mid - class. King Thard was a friend to everyone and everyone got the same amount of respect.

Its like a bunch of talking animals lived better and smarter than us, humans. It really gets you thinking, doesn't it?

The King opened the door. - My people ( lions lol ) want to meet you, coming? - he said. 

- I'll stay here, if I can. - I said.

I was very tired and I did not want to meet thousands of winged lions. Plus, it was already dark.

- I'll come!!! - Luka beemed.

Him, John ad Thard made their way out the door.

I was alone.

I was exhausted. But I couldn't sleep.

I thought about OUR world.

Which was something I didn't do up till then.

What about my job? What about all my friends?

Oh, right. I don't have any friends.

I haven't seen my family for a very long time.

A decade, to be exact. So I shouldn't be worrying about them. They wont be looking for me, because they can't realise I'm gone! Then what was bothering me so much?

Luka. What about all his " bros " or whatever cool people call their friends. What about his family?

And what about JOHN? What about HIS family?

His grandaughter?

Have they lost their minds?! What are they doing on a mission leaving their life as they know it behind?

WHAT AM I DOING?!

All of this was bringing me so much stress.

John told me to forget about our human ( well animal too ) world. And now I felt bad about myself that I have less courage than an old man.

- How old is John anyway? - I said to myself.

- I'm 50. - said John opening the door to the room.

- OHMYGOD I... I did not see you there.

- Aren't you supposed to be sleeping? - said John sitting down on Luka bed.

- I can't. - I said. - I'm too worried.

- About what?

- EVERYTHING!

- .. Can you be more specific? - said John.

- ... I think I'm worried about you... And Luka

- Why?

- I DON'T KNOW! - I almost yelled.

I was worrying way too much again. It happened pretty often. Perhaps once a week I would have a bad day and it would feel terrible. Then the rest of the week was just back to normal. And by that I mean boring and typical.... Well now I'm on a journey to save a village from war. So it's not really typical anymore.

- I'm worried about your family. - I said.

- But you haven't met them.

- I know! I'm just scared! They must be worried about you :(.

- Well, I only meet them every two months or so..

- That's a lot actually.

...

- During the last attack I stayed in this world for about three weeks. - John said. - My family was worried, but now they're used to it. They don't mind it when I disapear for some time.

- Then what's your excuse? When you disapear.

What do you tell them?

- I tell them it's non of their concern. Just like my personal life is to you. You shouldn't worry about me.

My family is very chilled out.

- Oh. Then what about Luka?

- Well I don't know anything about him or his family, but he's not worrying that's for sure.

I wanted to say something but John was trying so hard to make me happy while I was clrealy being an annoying burden.
