She felt him stiffen and knew she had gone too far with her daring, even in her confused and upset mind she could feel the wince at the social blunder, but then his arm came up behind her and he returned the.. awkward hug type thing that they had going on. He apologized to her for not being there to protect her and she likened his response to the same one that Temo had shown and she shivered just a little bit, suddenly feeling a frigid cold settling deep into her bones and realised that she felt old, very very old, she wondered how that was possible when she was not even in her third year of life and put it down to the trials she had already been through.
He moved back and she let go of his form and stepped back, giving him space. 'I want you to stay with someone at all times' She nodded at him, Temo would be happy to be on guard duty and follow her around day and night. She looked into his single vivid green eye and saw something within it that she couldn't place at that moment in time, sorrow? anger? respect? she couldn't tell. Finally she dragged her gaze away and turned her head to look at the church surrounding them admiring the level of craftsmanship that had gone in to its creation even though the years had damaged it and taken their toll, then back to him and she nodded,
"Of course, thank you Sir." She remained lost in her thoughts, her mind spinning its wheels over their conversation and her the strange itchy feeling that now nagged at her as he walked her back to the hole in the ground under the log that she called her home.
