"Why is it too dangerous to live back home for you? You're perfectly capable of taking care of yourself from what I can see." He pressed a soft kiss to Dolemeck's neck, trying to comfort him even as he himself was being comforted. "I don't know if it would help go to Ayon. My hometown, Elvuney, is just houses and snow now. Everyone who stayed moved into the town of Ayon proper, and my mother's home island, Ryyanranot, is under 'government protection' now. No one can go there, not even the Chukchis who used to live there and who gave it its' name." With a self-deprecating laugh, he adds, "It'll be a long time before someone like me graduates anyway, Dolemeck."
