tune

Hatta continued to whistle.

Aliana felt a shiver run down her spine and it wasn't the good kind. She, she probably picked the wrong path.

Hatta looked around, whistling going quieter. He frowned slightly.

Aliana moved closer to Hatta her grip tightening slightly. She looked up at him and asked softly, "Maybe we should go down a different path?"

Hatta frowned a little. "I…don't know." he replied slowly. "I really don't."

"Then I guess we'll keep going," Aliana whispered mainly to herself. She felt another shudder run down her spine and visibly reacted. Whatever was down here wasn't good. Really not good.

Hatta looked at her worriedly. "Are you alright?" he asked, raising his eyebrows and stopping his whistling.

"I, I'm fine," Aliana faked though everything else about her said otherwise. Her entire posture was hunched over defensive and slightly shaky, "This path just gives me the chills, that's all."

Hatta stopped, looking at her. "Then why are you so defensive and shaky?" he asked slowly.

Aliana stopped walking and looked at Hattsa. She glanced down at the ground before softly admitting, "This place gives me a bad vibe. And, and I, I don't know."

She felt tears start to roll down. She was terrified of whatever was down the path and it was forcing it's presence upon her making Aliana more scared.

Hatta shook his head a little. His eyes widened when she began to cry. "Okay. Okay. Let's uhm…let's head back, okay?" he suggested.

"I, are you sure?" Aliana used her free hand to wipe at her eyes, "I can. I can try to ignore it. But, Thank you."

Hatta shook his head. "No, we should head back." he replied.

(I gtg to bed now. Good night!)

Aliana nodded glancing down the looming pathway before looking back at Hatta, "Okay. Thank you."

Hatta nodded, and started walking back in the direction they had come. "You're welcome."

Aliana followed after him getting a bit calmer with each passing step. She wanted to keep repeating herself by thanking him over and over again, but kept herself quiet.

Hatta kept leading her away. "Come on." He said softly. "It'll be fine."

"I," Aliana glanced back for a moment but kept going and saw the cross road ahead, "Okay."

Hatta led her back to the crossroad. "Now which way?" He asked, raising his eyebrows at her.

"You choose," Aliana responded not wanting to make a bad choice again.

Hatta nodded, and chose the next path. Not the one they had just been on.

Aliana followes after him all the wind gone from her sails leaving her silent and worried. She was worried this would be a bad choice too.

Hatta frowned a little as they walked, hoping that whatever Aliana had felt, it wouldn't pursue them.

Aliana felt the presence mainly gone, but there still was a slight chill in the air. She took a breath and looked to Hatta, "Thank you."

Hatta nodded. "Yeah. You're welcome." he replied with a soft smile.
