She stops in front of him with a huff, looking up to him with narrowed eyes. Her eyes burn like a small flame trying to intimidate a forest fire. "Can you even understand what I'm saying?" she questions with a growl, crossing her arms proudly.
"I am Rosemary Pluckrose of the noble Pluckrose family line and I will be treated as such!!!" She introduces herself with an obviously faked posh accent. Though upon receiving no reaction from the armored figure, standing like a metal mountain compared to her not so average size, her confident facade wavers- she looks down sadly.
"Well I can't go back now..." she whispers to her own ear. But with his heightened hearing, Sariffall hears every sorrowed word. And of his kind nature, he feels a moment of empathy for her, only for his sympathy to be blasted by the sound of Rose's booming voice, "I need help!!!" Sariffall shakes his head in surprise; he lifts a hand and rubs the side of his helmet as she continues.
"I'm on the run and I need a place to stay for the time being. You shall take me to your home at once!" she puffs out her chest as she demands. Sariffall thinks to himself for a moment. But eventually turns his back to her and casually begins walking back to the forest without a word, leaving Rose with a dropped jaw.
"WAIT!!!" she cries out, hopping towards him into the sea of trees. She follows with heavy feet as Sariffall masterfully menouvers between the roots and bushes, struggling to keep up, her quiet mutters of protest and complaints slowing her movements. Still so she complains the entire journey. She doesn't dare stray from Sariffall's shadow for fear of more bandits chasing after her with absence of protection.
So she follows further, and further, and further into the wood; until finally, Sariffall halts all movement. Conveniently for her the little patience she held onto for the near hour of walking that had just passed by is snuffed out completely in the same moment.
