Maric walked along in silence, watching Nimue with concern. Why was she acting so angrily? Had he done something to infuriate her so? She wasn't even chattering away as she normally did, which gave the knight even more concern. He had enjoyed that aspect of her personality, a point that he had made just the previous day. Now however, she was quieter than a mouse. At least in speech. Her stomping feet were noisily tromping about without care for where they went. She even kicked a stone, but whether it was on purpose or not, he did not know.<br/>"Nimue?" Maric finally said cautiously. "Is everything fine? I can take my pack back if you would like. It must surely be causing your back to ache by now."<br/>He coughed nervously as he attempted to catch up with her and walk at her side.<br/>"Please tell me, have I wronged you? Is it me you are upset with? Please say something, you are beginning to worry me."
