The smile that suddenly had seemed to light up the woman's face at his words caused him to return the gesture. He was rather glad that he'd joined her for the walk. Ainsley was soon moving again and Alexander followed her. They were heading up another incline though this was wasn't nearly as steep as the previous. Something that the Priest was silently glad of. He hated that he was so out of shape. In all honesty, he'd not realized it until he'd been able to rest for a good length of time.
Though he'd been fairly active during the time he'd spent about after the Rothen had taken over, he'd not been keeping in shape as he usually had. Alexander suspected that it wouldn't hurt in the least to make sure that he was at least attempting to get back in shape, even if he was unable to get back to where he was before all this had happened.
The sound of the woman's voice brought the Priest back to the present. He turned his gaze in the direction of the farm and indeed..there sat the place that he was slowly growing fond of. Then, his gaze shifted slightly farther though he could not quite see the town. Not that it mattered much. He doubted that he'd ever venture that far from Ainsley's home until he was leaving for good.
A short moment later, Ainsley was speaking of the fields that they could see from their location. They were lovely and it was easy to see that someone was taking care to make sure that they came back every year. "It has been a long time since I have been able to simply enjoy anything like this." He said thoughtfully. He'd little time to marvel at anything that he'd come across during his time traveling.
Thinking on it, there was no telling all the things that he'd missed. However, there was little reason to worry over it. Perhaps there would be a day when things would be different. He smiled at her, hoping that she would not feel too terribly bad for his situation. It was just simply the way of things for now. "Thank you." He said simply.
If it wasn't for her, he'd likely be dead already. She had done so much for him and still was continuing to do so. The young woman was somehow managing to slowly break through a few of the walls that he'd surrounded himself with over the years. There were still quite a few that were in tact and he knew that he needed to be careful. Getting too close to her or her family was not a wise decision.
