Grinned widely as Isabella questioned what exactly they were to do once arriving at the river which grew louder by each moment. “I’m sure you know exactly what we will do, my lady. I wouldn’t mind a bath and I’m quite certain you desire the same. Beneath the trees are the mushrooms we seek and perhaps we can make a spear for some fish we shall cook on the fire?” The thought of actually having a full meal made his stomach growl for the first time in ages.<br/><br/>He had not needed food since the curse, but he still felt emptiness, still felt humanly desires and urges that he was shunned of in his time of isolation. If anything, it would bring comfort, perhaps even some sanity to his world to at least pretend he was still human. It was then they had made their way through the last patch of trees, the river now in sight with the rising sun causing the water to glitter welcomingly.<br/><br/>The world around them grew warmer, the sound of insects and life itself now surrounding them as they finally pushed free of the forest and found themselves at the waters edge. The knights shoulders dropped low as he finally allowed himself to relax, eyes closing as the warmth of the sun caressed his face, something he certainly missed.<br/><br/>Turning to Isabella, he grinned roguishly as he studied her face, wondering how she felt about both of them actually bathing. “You need not worry, I do not mean by each other, of course. You will have your privacy, my lady.”      He dipped his head in a low bow, keeping his eyes on her, more so admiringly than anything else.
