"Just asking," Konbei said. "I mean, you seem pretty independent for a blind girl."

She laughed at that. "Well, how thoughtful of you to say! Perhaps, I have been living alone for a long time!" She turned her head towards him. "And what about you?"

"What about me?" He said.

"Have you been living alone as well?" she asked happily.

Konbei shook his head. "Nah, I live with Gwene," he said. "But most of my time is spent alone."

She grinned. "Gwen sounds like a sweet person! She must be kind! Are you together?" she asked, elbowing him slightly.

"Uh... something like that," Konbei said a little awkwardly.

This caught her attention, and her grin widened. "Oh my! You two 'close'?" she suggested, giggling.

Konbei raised an eyebrow when she giggled. "...I'd rather not talk about it with you."

She pouted slightly, but only for a few seconds. "Then, what shall we talk about?"

"Well, you never really answered my question," Konbei said, glad the attention was of his and Gwene's crumbling relationship...

"Which question was that?" she asked.

"Do you always attach yourself to strangers like this?" Konbei said. "Seems like the perfect opportunity for someone to use you."

Her grin turned mischievous. "Oh my, would someone really do that?" she asked innocently, giggling slightly.

"You have no idea..." Konbei said

"Oh, I think I do!" she said softly, before turning her head. "Do I smell bread?!"

Subject: Re: Tenuous State Tue May 22, 2012 5:49 pm

"Uh..." Konbei looked around, there were no roadside vendors near them that he could see. "I can't smell anything."

"Oh my mistake!" she laughed. Then grew serious. "Do you plan on taking advantage of me, Konbei?"

Subject: Re: Tenuous State Tue May 22, 2012 5:58 pm

"What?" He said, a little surprised that she had asked such a thing. "'Course not..."

She smiled, and leaned slightly into him, hearing the honesty in his voice. "Good. Now, where are we going?"

Konbei subtely swayed away from Alannah as she leaned into him. He never felt uncomfortable around girls but not matter what she said, he just couldn't shake the odd hunch he had about her. He cleared his throat and answered simply with, "snowpeak."

"Oh that's right! Silly me! How much farther?"

Subject: Re: Tenuous State Tue May 22, 2012 6:13 pm

"Just across the river," he said and nodded to the bridge ahead of them that lead into the Zora's Domain.

She nodded, holding onto him. (Need to good night.)

(Later)

Konbei pushed his hands into his pockets as he crossed the bridge, trying to ignore the fact that she was holding onto him.
