"Your welcome," Aliana gave him a bright grin and continued to eat the sandwich.

He smiled back, and ate his sandwich.

Aliana finished in silence and started to play with her hair.

Hatta glanced over at her, then kept eating.

Aliana looked at Hatta. She was still unraveling everything from earlier but wanted to try and just forget about it. Chalk it up to nerves. She reached into her bag and grabbed her sketchbook once more and started to work on another piece her mind forming a monster on the paper, that she couldn't stop drawing. It didn't take long before the sketch was done and Aliana ripped it out not wanting to think about it anymore.

Hatta sighed softly, and raised an eyebrow when he heard the paper tear, looking up at her. "Aliana? What's wrong?" he asked, studying her.

Aliana had crumpled the paper into a ball. She took a shakey breath, “Nothing’s wrong. I just messed up that’s all.”

Hatta blinked slowly. "Oh. Alright." He said softly.

Aliana took a breath, "Yeah."

She started to draw again only to start the same pattern and ripped it out before she could finish with a shaky and defeated sigh.

Hatta watched her for a long moment. "You alright?"

"I, no," Aliana admitted quietly. She put her pen down and let herself sit there and shake.

He frowned slightly, and moved closer. "Okay…what's wrong?"

"All I can draw are monsters," Aliana whispered glancing at her crumpled papers, "I, I don't know where they're coming from anyway."

Hatta frowned a little bit. "Could they be whatever that presence was that you felt?"

"I, I think so," Aliana muttered taking a breath and looking at him, "Why can't they just leave me alone?"

"I don't know." Hatta replied softly.

Aliana let out a breath once more and closed her sketchbook, "Guess I'm not drawing tonight."

Hatta frowned. "Do you want a book to read?"

"Do,do you have a spare book?" Aliana asked softly looking to Hatta.

Hatta nodded, and reached into his hat. "I have many spare books." he replied with a smile.

Aliana gave him a little smile back, "Then I would love a book."

He nodded, and pulled out five, holding them out. "Pick one." he said.

Aliana looked at the five books and picked one out holding it close afterwards, "Thank you."

Hatta nodded, and put the others away. "You're welcome."

Aliana gave him another smile before settling down to read hoping that would take her mind away from what happened.
