Laurel runs toward the figure her eyes filled with joy.
When she gets closer it is Tamani but his eyes are cold.
Laurel stops running and the happiness she felt disappears instantly.
"We should get going."said Tamani coldly.
Laurel looks shocked and begins to follow but suddenly
stops.
"What's wrong?"he asks.
"Where does the moss grow?"Laurel asks.
For the first time since she arrived he shows an emotion.
Confusion.
She explain to him that she started eating moss and wanted to taste the one he likes to eat.
She doesn't mention the part about wanting to eat it cause he loves it.
His turns emotionless again and leads her to it.
Tamani grabs some and hands it to her.
Laurel take one look at it and puts it into her mouth without hesitation.
"It's so good!Better than the ones I ate in Cresent City."Laurel say.
Tamani looks at her and begins laughing.
If Laurel had a heart it would have skipped a was so happy that he was laughing even if it was at her.
Then Laurel starts crying with tears of joy.
Tamani stops laughing immediately asking if she's okay and saying if it taste bad you don't have to pretend.
"I'm not crying cause it taste bad I'm crying because you laughed.
"You don't hate me thank god thank god."Laurel said between her tears.
Tamani looks at her for a moment and bends down and hugs her.
Laurel looks at him for a second and then he goes back to his emotionless face.
"We should go."Tamani says without a hint of emotion in him.
Laurel looks at him weirdly because of the sudden change of emotion.
Laurel was confused but his hug was heartfelt she couldn't give up hope.
