teety-woo and— oh, hello again !

Slowly, but surely, you had somehow managed to get back on track in the forest. You were feeling sleepy, but you didn't quite feel at home with any spot, so you continued to walk in hopes of finding one soon.

You held the bonnet in the sweet caressing of your soft finger tips, drawing flowers and butterflies with your thumbs. The moon shone over your petite body, the trees making shadow puppets that casted onto you. Your bag started to become heavier as you took another step, and then another, and so on.

You inhaled deeply as you looked around, you were starting to feel a little bit grumpy. You could see the trees, the ground, the logs that laid around, but you couldn't see an opening, a sign of a possible resting spot, nothing that gave you any hope of finally taking a good, well deserved rest. yikes.

  " I guess i'll ha— "

crack !

You quickly turned your head to the source of the sound, and in its place was a broken twig. You placed your bonnet inside your bag carefully and clenched your bag tightly, slowly approaching the twig, whispering oh so gently under your breath. The leaves crackled under your boots, the silence becoming suffocating to you as you slowly inched closer.

  " hello ? Is there anyone there ? I mean no harm "

  " In that case, hi ! "

  " Ah ! "

You stumbled backwards, your legs getting tangled as you backed away hurriedly and landed on your behind. Your heartbeat increased as you gasped lightly, your hat stumbling out of your head and covering your face.

  " oh, im sorry ! I didn't mean to scare you like that ! "

Their voice was very gentle, yet sunny at the same time. Your hands shakily reached to grab your hat, pushing it back and placing it once more on your head. Right there, was a little creature standing in front of you, they seemed. . harmless.

  " uh, hello ? "

You managed to spit out, slowly regaining your composure as you came to the conclusion that,
in the small period of time that this creature had become your acquaintance, they also mean you no harm. The little guy quickly shuffled behind you and pushed you up, obviously you were a little too big for them so you pushed yourself back up to help him help you. cute.

Looking back down, you took a deep breath and let out a sigh of relief. Then, they spoke again.

" Im sorry if i startled you, i didn't mean to. I was just following someone and i saw you walking by, so i decided to take a peek and i stepped on a twig. "

Guess they liked to talk.

  " oh its quite alright, little guy. Im y/n, it's nice to meet you ! "

  " oh, its so nice to meet you too ! You're really pretty ! I love your outfit, it looks so nice on you. Are you a traveler ? I've been following another traveler like you ! "

You smiled at the enthusiasm, it was nice to have such positive energy when you were starting to get in a grumpy state. Though, that last statement caught you a but off guard.
