Tyson walked gleefully next to Karen as they entered into the mountain. Karen first started following him instead of him following her.
"What's up there?" he asked, pointing to the path above the pond. (Not: there is no hot spring or bridge yet.)
"Nothing."
"What about over there?" he asked, pointing towards the path next to the river.
"Well, there's the wood cutters place. But he's closed today. And beyond that there is a small clearing with a pond. And we could go up higher…"
"Let's do that!" he said.
They set off towards the tree by the cave. It didn't take that long to get there, the mountain didn't have much to offer. Karen stopped at the tree, then started climbing.
"What are you doing?" he asked dumbly.
"Getting up higher! There isn't even a bridge up here over the gorge. Come on!"
He hesitated before following her up the tree. She was already at the ledge up top. By the time he got there he she was over standing by another cliff. He joined her and looked down at the long drop. He whistled.
"Wow, that's a long drop!"
"Yeah," she said. She pointed towards the opposite side. "Over there, that's where the path by the pond leads. The builder is thinking about building a bridge from both sides."
"Can we go up any higher?"
"Sure," Karen said dully.
They climbed the path higher, passing the old people's house who Karen didn't really know, and Tyson wanted a full explanation of it. So she told him what she knew, then continued. At the top of the mountain she showed him the view of the town.
"Wow, that's really awesome."
"If you say so…"
"It is! I came from the city, no stars, no view… just tons of people and buildings. I love it here!"
You don't know how much I want to go to the city, she thought. But she smiled. But I would miss the stars… the view I could live without…
"See?" he said, seeing her smile. "It's nice here."
"Yeah, well whatever," she said. "But I've got to go back now. It's getting late and I have to get to the bar to work…"
"I'll come too!" he said with a smile. So they headed out together towards the bar. Karen's face was expressionless.
Clingy little guy, isn't he?
Yeah, well there's the chapter. Sorry I haven't updated. And as always, R&R!
