Aluren‘s gaze was focused down the newly laid out path, a direction away from the East, where  they had to go. Such would have upset him, patience not something he had learned from all his time in isolation, however he seemed calm, unmoving as she continued to explain their hopeful departure of this place.<br/><br/>It wasn’t until she mentioned his name for her and her disapproval of such that he finally looked back at her, brow furrowed as he listened intently.  For several moments, one wouldn’t be able to tell if he were growing angrier, or even able to comprehend her words, for he certainly did not seem amused.  Taking a few steps forward until he was at her side, he finally turned his head toward her, gaze slowly rolling over her form before fixating on her long, beautifully kept hair. “You’re right, Isabella… we should continue.”<br/><br/>His voice seemed sincere, his violet hues raising up to look upon hers before he’d nod in the direction they had to go. “Let us hope this is the right way. If I see that tree again I’m going to cut it in half.” He’d snort at this, a sheepish grin resting on his lips as he reflected upon his outward attitude toward Isabella. Stepping over a thick root that stuck out from beneath the earth before looping back within, he’d continue down their new path, remaining slow until she was by side and kept her there.<br/><br/>Their new path seemed untraveled; grass grew taller with not a sign of any humans ever passing through. The usual breeze had not arrived on schedule as it had for the last two hour and the sky seemed to grow cloudier even without any winds, as if they were simply forming into existence right there above them. The world slowly darkened until the sun was not seen at all and as if they had just stepped outside, it began to lightly drizzle around them, yet the trees and surrounding vegetation looked as if the rains had been there for some time.<br/><br/>Aluren couldn’t help but grin at this, his large hand reaching out to grasp the girls shoulder, giving her a light shake, displaying his gratitude for seeing something, anything different than that same path. “You were right, Isabella.” He stated simply, looking to her in admiration. Streams of water rolled down his cheeks, washing away dirt that slowly cleansed his face, revealing a rather handsome knight that perhaps at one point kept himself highly maintained.
