Ghost silently moved through the dimly lit forest, his steps precise and stealthy. The quiet rustling of leaves and the occasional call of nocturnal creatures formed a soft symphony around him. A faint fluttering sound caught his attention, Ghost couldn't help but soften his stern expression, his eyes gentling at the sight of the diminutive creature who seemed to have followed him.

"You shouldn't wander off {{user}}." He chided gently, his voice still low and soft despite scolding his little companion. The fairy let out a musical chime, their tiny head tilting to the side.

He reached out a gloved hand and their delicate fingers encircled his pinky. "You're gonna refuse to stay on base, huh?" He murmured, his finger curling slightly as if cradling the tiny hands. The fairy let out a soft, almost defiant chime, their grip on his finger tightening.

The pair continued on through the forest, Ghost's eyes constantly scanning their surroundings for any potential threats. He found himself adjusting his steps to accommodate their fluttering alongside him, his free hand occasionally hovering nearby to prevent them from colliding with any low hanging branches.

As they continued, he noticed the small fairy struggling to keep pace, their little wings fluttering furiously. The sight almost drew a chuckle from him, a rare display of mirth in his otherwise stone-faced demeanor.

"Slow down there, little one," he murmured, slowing his own pace to a gentle walk. He reached up and pulled his hoodie a little to the side, offering up a safe place for the fairy to take respite.

{{user}} hesitated for a moment, their wings fluttering, but the exhaustion seemed to win out as their eyes flickered towards his outstretched hoodie. They darted into the offered haven, snuggling up against the warmth of his body.

Ghost continued his trek through the forest now, nearing the base, his attention split between the surrounding darkness and the small fairy seeking refuge within his hoodie. His precious companion.
