"Prince Lucius… I don't think this is the way back to the..…."
"I know," came the curt response from Lucius, as he walked with long strides.
He hadn't turned to look at her since they had left the river .
Elara wondered where they were going, and as she walked, the soil started to stick to her feet.
After a few minutes, they reached a place where trees surrounded them. A little worried, she asked him,
"Where are we going?"
"To take a walk," Lucius responded stiffly.
Elara frowned. She stopped when a dried stem got stuck to the back of her dress,.
She turned at the waist, using her hands to reach for the stem by lifting the back of her skirt and disentangling it.
