Yep, that's a lonely crying little kid. "Hi, there," she murmurs. "Are you lost?"
He sniffs, he nods.
"Have you tried asking a squirrel for directions? Squirrels are very good at learning how the forest moves around."
"I -" sniff - "tried! But it wouldn't help me."
"What? Why? Where are you trying to go, where do your parents live? Maybe I can help you."
He shakes his head.
"...You wouldn't tell the squirrel where your parents are supposed to be?"
"No."
"Then of course they couldn't help, they need to know what to give directions to. Look, what's your name?"
"Calemar."
"Calemar, I want to help you get unlost, but I don't know where to unlose you to. Is it not your parents? Do you live with an aunt or an uncle or a grandparent or something and you got confused about the question?"
"No."
"...Are you not supposed to tell strangers where you live?"
