"Alain, where are we going?'' Mairin asks, walking alongside him. Alain glances at her and then looks back in front of him before answering.
"We are going to a cave not far from here that supposedly have Altarianite, a mega stone for Altaria, in it.'' Alain says, pointing ahead of him. Mairin looks where he pointed at and nods before she starts softly humming a tune. Alain glances at her again and looks back, smiling. At first when she started following him, he only thought of her as a person who would slow him down. Now he thought of her as a close friend and a person who would often remind him that he is a human being, and being that, that sometimes they need to have fun and to smile more often.
''How far away is the cave now, Alain?'' Mairin asks, pausing in the song that she was humming. Alain takes out his hologram map and looks at it before putting back up again.
''We are two miles away from the cave now.'' he says, brushing a stray hair from his face. Mairin nodded, and clapped her hands excitedly.
'Great! That means that we are almost there and I get to see what the mega stone for Altaria looks like.'' Mairin says happily, smiling up at him. Alain gave a small smile back before focusing on the task at hand. Mairin wanting to get there now, decided to skip ahead. Which in turn caused her to trip over a root in the middle of the path. Mairin sat up, brushing dirt of her arms and shirt. Alain rushed over to her and held out a hand to help her up.
''Are you okay? Did you hurt anything?'' Alain asks her. Mairin shook her head and grabbed Alain's hand to get up.
''Thank you and no, I didn't hurt myself. It was just a small trip after all.'' Mairin says as she brushes leaves and dirt from her shorts. Alain brushes some dirt of her back and once satisfied with that he got back up.
''Okay if you're fine then let's continue on to the cave.'' Alain says, handing Mairin back her hat.
They walked for a mile until they saw the cave over in the distance, past a hill. Mairin eyes immediately shone with excitement as they neared it.
''Look Alain, there it is!'' Mairin joyfully says as she runs towards the cave not watching where she was going and tripped over a rock that was embedded in the ground. Mairin gave an exclaim of surprise as she suddenly lost her balance.
''Mairin!'' Alain exclaimed as he reached for her hand in order to keep her from tumbling, but instead got pulled in with her and they rolled down the hill, stopping a couple of yards away from the cave. Mairin opened her eyes and looked up to see Alain's eyes staring back down at her, their noses almost touching. Alain quickly got from atop of her and mumbled an apology, holding his hand out to help her up.
''Thank you Alain.'' Mairin says, a blush settling on her face that almost matched Alain's. ''But, hey, look, there is the cave.'' Mairin says, trying to get over the awkwardness that was floating in the air. Alain only nods and hmms a response back. But what Alain wouldn't say is that he didn't mind being that close to her, but little did he know, neither would Mairin.
