Princess Miyu and Jimin had been trudging through the woods for what seemed all too long. It was so long that the light of dawn had cracked over the horizon and reflected off the side of the mountain that they were now nearing. Jimin could tell by the way the princess dragged her feet and the soft pout on her lips that she was tired. However, so was he, and despite his wound being wrapped and cleaned, the considerable distance they'd traveled by foot was only making it more painful for him.

Fatigue had well and truly set in for Miyu. It was only her sheer willpower that kept her moving forward. This was because she knew Jimin was hurt, and that the hunger pain she felt had set in her stomach. It was just as they'd stepped into a clearing that the rustling of a bush across the clearing caught her attention. At first, she thought she'd imagined it, but as Jimin put his hand out to stop her from taking another step forward, she realized it wasn't just in her imagination.

"What's wrong?" She questioned, but he silently raised a finger to his pursed lips so she stopped talking and watched as Jimin quietly, cautiously, made his way closer. Again, the bush rustled and then just before Jimin had made it to the bush, a man- no, a boy? Had popped out from behind it. He looked like a deer caught in headlights with those wide brown eyes of his, and the banana was raised to his mouth as though he'd been caught red-handed about to take a bite.

A shared confusion sat in the air for a moment before the man who had such youthful features straightened up and lowered his banana, his gaze drifting over both Jimin and Miyu for a moment before he spoke. "What happened to you two? You look like you just crawled out of a hole."

Jimin scoffed, but Miyu frowned. "Well, we kinda did.." She laughed dejectedly. After coming all this way, and after being beaten up and injured as they were, for this boy, that the first comment they got was to ask if they crawled out of a hole was quite discouraging.

"Sure, kid, don't worry about that. We're looking for a shaman who supposedly lives somewhere in these woods. Do you happen to know where he lives?" Jimin wasn't exactly using his friendly voice with him, and Miyu could understand why. He looked like nothing more than an innocent peasant, and although the clothes he wore were raggedy, she could tell they were still unusually clean.

The boy's brows scrunched together as he took a bite of the banana, and Miyu couldn't help the growl that escaped her stomach at the thought of how tasty it looked. "Well, if it's the old man you're referring to, then yeah. I know where he lives." The boy said, muffled by the chewing of the banana. "Say um, could I maybe have a bite of that..?" Miyu couldn't resist any longer and as she asked Jimin's gaze turned to her. He knew she was probably starving by this point. This made him feel even more guilty that he hadn't been able to protect her, or provide for her, or even find this darn shaman yet.

The boy moved a few steps closer and held out the fruit. "Sure, there's plenty more in the trees over there." He mumbled, and as he pointed out into the distance, the two of them noticed the tree in question. Miyu thanked the boy before taking it from him, and it felt like absolute heaven in her mouth as she took a bite.

"So, uh," Jimin went on, feeling a little confused by this entire encounter yet trying to not get distracted. "Could you perhaps, uh." Jimin's attention was pulled as the princess nudged him and handed the banana to him, so he took it. "Thanks princess, are you sure though? I can always find something else.." Jimin hesitated, but the princess shook her head seeing as she was still chewing, so Jimin took a bite too.

"They're pretty delicious, right?" The boy broke into the cutest of smiles, and he almost resembled a bunny. "Yeah, so delicious. I never imagined there were such tasty kinds of fruits just out here in the woods." The princess said, but at this Jimin darted a look her way.
