She laughed slightly as he bowed. He was worried about not being rude? Now? It was certainly interesting. She liked the way he kept her on her toes without any real harm. There was a moment, coming off of the thought of games, where she thought about challenging him, about seeing if he could keep up. Ultimately she decided against it, saving that idea for the way back.<br/><br/>When Aria said she had a round that she took, she was not joking though her concept of a week was often skewed. Now and then she entered human settlements either to practice her glamour or to exchange food snatching for work. More often she went into the forest, either to search for food or to search out the few rouge faeries she knew in the area. Originally she wanted to find the fellow faeries, but with Pheonix following her she second guessed that.<br/><br/>There was one fae creature, however, that she knew could defend his own if Phoenix was worse than he seemed. Aria made her way toward the creek, varying her trail a bit in order to stop by a place she knew things grew. She stopped once to trick a few of the squirrels, and once more to watch a bird fly off from a tree branch.  Her basket had a few edible mushrooms and a few handfuls of berries when they came to the creek. More specifically to a larger pool of water, almost pond like, that the creek flowed through.<br/><br/>Aria rolled up her pants and dipped her bare feet into the water's edge and waited expectantly. After a time she began to fidget and the set of her back and shoulders showed that she was attempting to conceal her nerves. "Something is wrong," She stated, hoping that her voice didn't waver.<br/><br/>"The Kelpie isn't here." Aria jumped at the high pitched voice and looked to her right. A creature no taller than six inches stood on the far side of the pond.<br/><br/>"What do you mean he isn't here?" Aria questioned, but the Brownie only gave her a knowing look and then ran off, disappearing into the forest.<br/><br/>Aria silently removed her feet from the water and gravely used her magic to dry them off. "I think I've had enough trouble and berries for one day," She said softly and began to make her way back to the church. She kept her head forward, but her eyes roamed the forest as if searching for something that might pop out to attack.
