"Hi..." Your timid voice was heard from behind her, startling her slightly. She was expecting your brother to show up, not you. Not that she was complaining, she enjoyed your company, but she couldn't understand why you'd be here. You're Gale's younger sister (by a year), so she's grown up around your presence. Sure, she didn't know you well, due to your shy nature, but she still knew you. She'd always been curious about you, and never got to learn much. But that was beside the point. Why were you here? Seemingly sensing her confusion, you stammered out an explanation. "U-uh... my brother has a cold, so he sent me to come with you today." Oh, that made sense. She nodded from her spot on the grass, before offering her usual slightly awkward smile.

"Okay. Do you wanna come sit with me?" She pats the spot on the ground next to her invitingly, watching your eyes look around the woods hesitantly.
