Ahmm... are you feeling alright?

I ask the man in front of me as it seems that he is feeling unwell and quite red. 

Are you  having a fever? 

after I ask, he even turned more red!

Maybe you are not feeling well sir so maybe you should take a rest and I'll be getting myself going.

it's not like that lady! it's just that..the weather is hot today

hmm is it that hot to turn him red like this? 

I thought to myself

Pfffftttt!

I laughed as I instantly thought of a tomato after seeing him.

I looked at him again.

oh my god! your nose is bleeding!

I immediately took my handkerchief from my bag and wipe the blood on his face, but instead of minimizing the flow of blood, it seem that it was even dripping more!!!

I think you should differently see a doctor as soon as possible sir, you might lose a lot of blood from this!

eh, my grandson having a fever and feeling unwell??? that's kinda new to hear.

his grandpa said

It's alright lady, I think it's just from the heat stroke.

Are you sure? would you be alright?

Yes.

he answered while still holding his bleeding nose.

Well, I think you two should get going and look around while I do some other things

Thank you, mister,

I said as I bow my head

the two of us started walking and he told me everything about the village, its small market, the village square, and the view of the fields, he even introduces me to the other village folks saying I was a guest in the village.

Thank you so much for seeing me around here sir

You don't have to call me sir, just Alejandro is fine.

I see thank you Alejandro for today, I enjoyed it

I gave my gratitude and bowed to him

I was about to leave then 

wait!!

I looked in the direction he was in again

Is there a place you are staying?

he said with his quiet voice and I think he was embarrass while saying that

oh shi, I forgot about that

I guess I still haven't found a place to stay in

what!

That could be dangerous! the sun is almost setting and a young lady like you could be harmed.

I'll find a way

I answered him

he still looked at me with worried eyes and in other thoughts, I'm not sure too how am I even going to find a place to sleep tonight...

hmmm... brainstormed  for a while and all of a sudden I had a new idea again.

wait! u said there was a clothing store we once passed by that was owned by a former servant of a noble in the capital of your kingdom right?

I guess I told you that...

Lead me there!

As I instantaneously grab his hands while looking at him with my shining eyes that have a plan in mind.
