"Are you okay?" Akaya asked as they walked down yet another sand dune. She had been observing the man for the past few minutes ever since they left Bowser and Gargoyle and if not for the scorching sun, she would have said that the sweat on his brow was caused by something else.
He looked anxious and lost at the same time he looked as if something was bothering him though she had no idea what it was. 'Or' she thought, 'He's thinking of what his friends were teasing him about,'
"I don't want to pry but do you want to share your thoughts?" she asked.
He looked at her and shook his head, "You're not prying and I'm thinking of nothing in particular,"
"You sure?" she questioned having sensed the lie.
He gave out a nervous chuckle, "Yes I am, don't stress yourself out... It's.. Nothing of importance,"
"Okay, as you say so," Akaya replied. "Will Bowser and the other guy be okay?"
"Yes why ask?"
