He shakily accepted the flower she gave him as she sniffled. Her face was slightly dirty from falling face first in the ground. His young wife looks at him with shining emerald orbs as her pinkish lips is in a small pout.

Guinevere then suddenly stopped crying as if realization dawned in her. She looked at him with widened eyes.

"Shh, I didn't talk to you, okay?" She whispered to him with a pout and signalled a silent manner to him by putting a finger to her lips in a hush.

Gusion looks at her softly as he keeps a distance from her. She looks around her as if someone is eavesdropping at then. Guinevere sat infront of him and tilted her head to the side, innocence in her clear expressive green eyes that he misses so much. She wiped her tears and talked to him in a small voice.

"Mama told me not to talk to strangers so I didn't talk to you, okay?"

He nodded at her in understanding as she patted her violet cute dress once again. His heart contentedly beat for her, finally feeling happy and complete after a decade of losing her. Gusion doesn't even have thoughts of kissing her. She's a little kid after all. A cute one and pure at that. Her cheeks are very pink and round as she hugs the flower to her flat chest.

"Don't cry anymore, mister! I gave you one of my flowers after all. Bye-bye!" She waved goodbye at him with those parting words as she slightly lifted her long dress to ran back to the woods she came from a while ago. Her messy hair bounced with her motion as she became smaller and smaller at his peripherals.

Gusion blinks his eyes slowly as he stood up to follow her. She was happily skipping in the woods as if she knows the place by heart. The animals glided to her side naturally to be petted by her as he leaned on the tree, simply and contentedly watch her in her kid self glory.

She dropped the flowers to the ground and petted the rabbit that is snuggling in her feet. Multiple butterflies and birds are flying around her as the young Guinevere giggled at the sight. She was so cute. Gusion smiled at the sight once again.

She suddenly turned her head to his direction so he suavely hid himself.

"Hmmm..." She hummed as if in deep thoughts but shrugged.

She continued walking as Gusion sneakily and gently followed her like the animals in the forest. He even saw one snake following her though he can feel no malice at the animals. They are simply hooked at her like he is. A tiger even showed up and Gusion was supposed to kill it so she wouldn't be harmed but the animal simply laid to her feet as she stopped and ruffles the tiger's furs who growled affectionately at her actions.

It was clear as day that the forest loves her. The trees moves on it's own to shield her from the sun's rays. The flowers and plants around her blooms brighter when she passed them. She's a goddess and he's her follower.

He's like a stalker but he have no ill intentions towards her. All he wants is to send her back home safely. He doesn't want to introduce himself to her yet, afraid that she would suddenly start remembering.

"Guinevere!" Someone called for her with a gentle sweet voice. 

A fairly young woman emerged from the woods and hurriedly jogs to Guinevere's direction. Gusion silently observes them at the side as the kid version of his wife smiles affectionately at the woman.

"Mama!" She met the woman halfway as the beautiful woman immediately planted pecks to her daughter's face.

Guinevere giggled at her childishly as the woman pinched her round chubby rosy cheeks.
