I followed Blastoise, looking at the vague view of Dolanaar behind me. The inn was a tiny speck as I followed the trail.
"Hey, Thiss, I lost ya back there." Varocte came up to me and started walking beside me.
"Oh, hi Varo." I muttered. I tried to focus on a tree on the opposite side of him.
See, I think he has a thing for me. It's a bit vague right now, his feelings, but the way he looks at me… it's the reason I try to avoid him sometimes. I mean, I feel okay with him liking me, and all that, but it would be way too awkward.
I haven't had love in a while, though. I guess I could give it a try…
No. No way. I shook my head.
"Are you, like, talking to someone I can't see?" Varocte asked me.
I laughed. "No, no, I'm just thinking."
"Oh." He turned his head away. His head slowly tilted downwards as he stared at his moving feet. I realized we were the last ones following.
"Come on, Thisspere, try to keep up!" Blastoise yelled from in front of the crowd.
I started running and tried to make myself disappear into the big, running crowd. I crouched down and ran. I saw Varocte's worn leather boots step in front of me. He was turning his head in different directions, looking for me, but I think he had overdone it. He focused on the big, black horse that Blastoise was on and walked swiftly.
Oh my gosh. I'm being a total jerk. I slapped my forehead. My elbow brushed against someone's leg. She looked down at me, her glowing eyes almost a glare. "What are you doing down there?" She asked me.
"Oh, I just, dropped something." I said quickly. "Found it." I stood up.
She gave me a weird look.
Bitch.
"There you are, Thiss." Varocte walked towards me.
"Oh, I was looking for you too." I lied smoothly.
I saw the corners of his lips twist up into a tiny grin.
Oh my god, what am I going to do with him?
I knew I was being a jerk, but I looked at Varocte as more of a best friend, or a companion, more than a lover. I felt small beads of sweat start to drip down my forehead and onto my cheeks. I get nervous a lot.
We entered the walls of Darnassus. A few people stared.
Blastoise turned his head around to make sure that everyone was behind him.
I paced slowly, but still kept up with everyone. We went through the walls of Warrior's Terrace and slowly made our way down the ramp into Darnassus.
This was going to be a looong trip.
I pushed back my hair and the wind just blew it back into place.
"Blast, when can we stop to take a break?" Someone yelled.
"Ashenvale." He replied without looking back.
We entered the portal into Rut'theran village and continued along the path.
We reached the Hippogryphs. I paid the Hippogryph master 2 silvers and I jumped on one's back. It squawked in shock and started flapping it's wings. It made it's way off the dock and started to fly across the Veiled Sea.
Varocte's Hippogryph was right behind mine. I turned around and tried to see him through the thick, black fog but could see nothing.
I'll continue later, I want to play WoW. Again…
