The Boy At The House (3)

They boy rubs his head and raises up slowly. He sits down in the dinghy and looks around.

"Where am I?" he says after a while.

"In Fair", Daniel says.

"Fair?"

"Little Fair", says Dilan.

The boy looks around again.

"I must have fallen asleep", he says.

"Where are you from?", Dilan wonders.

"I... live at the sea. In a house. I was on my way to Longharbour. Can't see how I ended up here. I must have fallen asleep."

"Pretty lucky not to have drifted out on the sea", says Daniel.

"Who are you?" says the boy.

"My name is Daniel."

"And I'm Dilan."

"We live here", says Daniel.

"Who are you?" Dilan asks.

"My name is Richard."

"But where do you live?" Daniel asks. "You said in a house, right? But why were you going to Longharbour?"
