The boy was extremely dirty. But he didn't seem to mind. He followed me with gusto, actually leading the way as he opened the door for me to pass. I wanted to go through the way I had passed earlier with me swinging embarrassingly on Caspian's shoulder.
A hand grabbed onto the hem of my sleeve. It was an odd action, I thought, there was something uncommon about the action but my mind settled for important things so I let it pass. I looked back at him, the questions of his meaning clear as hot spring.
He shook his head, the two fingers that latched onto the edge of my sleeve falling as he craned his neck to the left. "Go this way," He said, already waking over without a single reply.
Caspian and I had just gone through here, and I had passed through here when I came to this place the other day, so I naturally knew the way back so I couldn't help the confused look I gave him. The sudden sense of suspicion clouded me at the moment.
