Snippet #2544443

Thalia didn't even notice anyone was running after her until someone landed in front of her. She abruptly stopped and her hands went up to push back the person, but she froze when she realized who it was. A sigh of relief escaped her lips and she felt a bit calmer. Thalia had to push her thoughts away as her mind progressed his question. She didn't answer it right away and ended up just listening to him when he spoke again. She tried to organize her thoughts, but just took in some deep breathes.

When she walked into the cave she went all the way to the back of the cave. Her eyes filled with worry and shock when she saw Locien's face and chest once the fire had started. She walked up to Locien and hugged him tightly. Thalia then gave him a firm kiss on both of his cheeks and then forehead. Thalia held his face in her soft warm hands and looked into his eyes with concern.

"What's wrong? Why were you crying?" she asked softly. She looked at the scratch marks on his chest and decided to care for them later once she found out what was wrong with him.
