Third person POV;

Branch lead the curious (Y/N) into a thicker part of the woods, leading her to the kingdom of Perenia. The sun was setting and turning the tree tops a fire orange. "We'll camp here for the night." Branch said and sat on a stump.
Your POV;

"Outside?" I squawked.

"Yup."

"In the dark?"

"Yup."

"But what if something attacks us?" I say frantically looking at the sun. "These woods are completely harmless." He said calmly rubbing to sticks together over a pile of wood. "Are you sure?" I said calming down a bit. "Of course, the king's men have scared all the animals away in search on the princess." He said finally managing to get a flame. The fire lit dimly but began to grow bigger. I sat down across from Branch and stared at his deep ocean blue eyes. Then he looked up at me and I looked away quickly. "So, I don't understand, why do you wanna get out of that tower so badly?" Branch said smiling at me with the flames dancing in his eyes.  "Well it all started when I was a little girl, I've always had this hunger to go outside...as if I were part of nature itself but, mom would never let me leave. When I asked her why every single answer was the same as if she'd practiced saying it every day. It's too dangerous (Y/N). Then I started charting galaxies and having dreams that someone would come and save me....does that sound stupid to you?" I said shyly and looked up at him with pouty eyes. "No (Y/N) that's beautiful." Branch said with amazement written in his face. "Who was the person in your dreams?" I looked to the sky and put on a faint smile. "I charted him, created him out of stars put together by my own imagination."
