Orion nodded. He took the sweet potatoes and ate slowly, without gobbling them down. Nina poured him another glass of water.
"If it's not enough, I'll get you more," she said.
Orion shook his head. Nina noticed that he preferred not to speak unless absolutely necessary. She did not want to stare at him while he ate, so she busied herself with tidying up the tent.
Suddenly, a trumpet sounded. It was the call to assemble. Something was happening in the military.
What she did not expect was to see Orion put down his sweet potato, stand up straight, and salute. It was a perfect military posture and a crisp salute.
Nina was completely taken aback. He was only five years old.
How could he perform these actions so expertly?
Could he be the child of a soldier?
Realizing the significance, Nina decided to contact the embassy. If he was the child of a fallen soldier, he should not be left alone in a foreign land.
"Orion, you're not a soldier, but you know these things. Who taught you this? Do you remember?" Nina asked, crouching down to his level.
Orion looked at her with those bright, star-like eyes and replied simply, "Grandpa."
Although his words were brief, Nina understood. It seemed his grandfather had passed away. Otherwise, Orion would not be in such a state, wandering around with torn clothes and a dirty face.
