Failed Huntsman

He didn’t know what is was about the woods that he found so comforting. Maybe it was the fact that he was surrounded by wildlife or maybe even it was the fact that he was away from humanity. Either way he found himself drawn to it more than he was civilisation. The issue with that however, was though he had been in this new area for some time, he had only really met one person and he didn’t even have a job yet.

Joy didn’t really know why she was in the woods, but here she was, walking aimlessly through the woods, just enjoying seeing all the little animals as they ran around. She heard a voice which caused her to go searching for the source, seeing the man twirling a stick around and she coughed loudly to announce her presence. “Sorry, just didn’t want to startle you and have you stab me with that stick. Does not sound very pleasant I must say.” The brunette gave the stranger a small smile. “I heard you while I was walking around out here so I wanted to come over and say that what you said probably isn’t true. I’m sure your family misses you a lot.”

Alaric jolted slightly when he heard the random voice, breaking him out of the little world he had put himself in. Looking up at her he couldn’t help but chuckle slightly. “I wouldn’t have stabbed you. I’m more of a pacifist then I fight it, believe it or not” Looking up at her, he twirled then stick before putting it so it was sticking out of the ground. “I appreciate what you’re trying to do when you say that, but you don’t know that. You don’t know them. I mean. First of all, they hate that I’m a pacifist”

The dark-haired woman yelped as she tumbled to the ground, ending in a slight ‘oof’. Before going down, she hardly had a moment to really see what happened. “No, get!” she flailed her arms above her head before taking a moment to gather her thoughts. Then, her eyes raised up only to meet those of a man in front of her, carefully reaching out and taking his hand. Now, also embarrassed by her behavior, the woman bit her lip. “Oh, no, no. It was my fault. I wasn’t really paying attention to where I was going. Clumsy me,” she mumbled, her cheeks furiously glowing a deep pink as she got onto her feet. Oh, lord. How embarrassing. Saskia dusted herself off, a sigh of relief escaping her lips as she scrambled to gather the small bird cage that laid on the floor. “I was just out setting one of our bird patients back into the wild.”

He was a little taken back by how the women reacted when she hit the floor originally but he smiled as helped her up. He hadn’t managed to say anything further before the women was rambling and honestly, he found it adorable. With a smile plastered on his face he listened to her talk, almost lost in thought when he realised it was his turn to talk. That’s how conversations worked right?

“Hi,” Saskia grinned, shaking the now named male’s hand. “It’s lovely to meet you, Alaric,” she said, more confidence hinting in her voice. Already having thought it was impossible, the woman’s cheeks grew a darker red again and again by Alaric’s compliment. “I — Oh. Thank you,” she squeaked. She went to give a slight curtesy in acknowledgment, even though she hasn’t seen many people do that within the town that they each called home.

“It’s lovely to meet you too” he smiled bashfully before giving her a little bow. “Of course, well I’m just telling you what I can see” he chuckled blushing slightly.

The dark haired woman couldn’t help but allow her lips to curve into a smile, trying her best to conceal it as she tipped her head down modestly. “Well, you are far too kind,” she laughed at the compliment. God, what is he doing? Her cheeks were now an embarrassingly deep red, no doubt.

“These woods are pretty wonderful,” Saskia grinned, nodding her head in agreement. “I tend to come out here quite often. It’s a nice place to escape and to be with yourself, be in touch with nature. Plus, there’s always little animal friends to meet!” The woman was pleased to have somehow formed a new acquaintance, and by the looks of it, perhaps a new friendship. Although it was very simple for her to make friends due to how outgoing and kind she was known to be, she always enjoyed those very close bonds with people and looked forward to more and more.

As she spoke about the woods he couldn’t help but smile and nod. He agreed with everything that she said about it. It was a nice place to be in order to chill out and think, and also it did hold so many magnificent creatures.
