She could see pain in his expression and slowed to a stop, "Alek, what's wrong?" she asked worriedly.<br/><br/>Æsc smiled as he followed after her, "Mmmm, it's really fun to watch you walk away." He said with a grin. He realized he was a much different person from the antisocial, timid guy she'd met so long ago and he knew that was all because of her.
