Hatta nodded, and sat down. "Yeah. You don't have anything to apologize for."

"It feels like I do," Aliana sat down slowly next to him, "It really does."

Hatta sighed. "Why?" He asked. "Why does it feel like you do?"

"We have to stop moving because I can't get a grip on my emotions," Aliana whispered. She got even quieter afterwords, "And we had to back track becuase I got scared. Everything is my fault, it always has been."

Hatta sighed. "Aliana. I am going insane. You really think I care that we have to stop so you can get a handle on your head?"

"I, my point exactly," Aliana looked at him, "You're going insane and I'm freaking out because I got scared. If you can keep going, I should be able to too."

Hatta snorted. "I figured out how to keep a lid on the…craziness, keep it in here." He tapped his hat. "You haven't. Don't worry about it."

Aliana had big eyes and they were starting to tear up. She wiped at them and looked at Hatta with a light smile, "Thank you."

Hatta smiled. "You're welcome." he replied.

Aliana took a shaky breath as she continued to sit, "How, how do you keep it all in?"

Hatta snorted. "I whistle." He replied. "I walk, I fidget, I tell and come up with riddles." He shrugged.

"So normal little things?" Aliana was honestly curious. She wanted advice becuase she, she had been needing to hear something like this for a while now. That it was fine to do things to get her emotions out and she didn't need to bottle it all up until it overflowed.

"I guess." Hatta replied with a shrug. "Keep myself busy enough, and…." he shrugged a little.

"Yeah," Aliana sigheda as she looked down at her hands. She took a deep breath before stadning up, "Let's see if we can make it a little farther."

Hatta nodded. "Alright." he replied, and began walking again. "We'll see."

"Yeah," Aliana took another deep breath and started to walk again, "We'll see."

Hatta sighed softly.

Aliana started to hum slowly and softly. She wanted to try something out.

Hatta glanced over at her for a moment, then kept walking quietly.

Aliana started to hum a little louder and faster. She felt a small smile start to slip on as she continued.

Hatta began to whistle along, smiling a little.

Aliana glanced at Hatta whistling along and felt her smile geow a little bit bigger her earlier worries shelved away.

Hatta kept whistling as they walked. He hoped that whatever had happened wouldn't happen again.

Aliana's humming quieted as they walked up to another fork in the road. She looked to Hatta to see which way he went.

Hatta examined the forks. "You feel anything from any of them?" he asked, raising his eyebrows.
