''Can I help you, feisty pants?'' a voice called out, disrupting Aeliana's train of thought.
Aeliana's eyes widened at the sound of the voice. She knew this voice. She recognized it right away. But how? Aeliana took a deep breath in attempt to collect herself before she turned around to be faced with the one person she hadn't expect to ever see again. Especially not in her disheveled state; and after running away for what felt like hours, she was sure she looked worse than she had ever done before. In a way, it was frustrating that he saw her like this. It almost felt like admitting his mocking about her being in the forest had been right.
''You again,'' Aeliana greeted the boy, her eyes were staring at him filled with suspicion. What was he doing here?
''Did I startle you Miss?'' There was a twinkle in his eyes while saying this. Obviously not regretting it if he did.
''Not at all.'' She smiled sweetly, the sarcasm dripping of her features.
''Well my lady,'' He began, ''It seems to me that you're in a bit of a predicament.'' he continued with amusement. ''I might be able to help you.''
