Kalia calmly looked over, understading that there was something wrong. "What's happening? No one's after us...Speak." She said calmly yet cautious ready to take action if needed. Ailiana's suden wish startled her leaving Kalia clueless of what's going on, and that worried her.

"I just... I really want to run," I said. Weird answer. Hey, she asked. "It's... hard to explain."
Walking was too slow, too easy. Running... with running, you couldn't focus on anything else. What, was I going to have to beg. "...Please?" I tried, attempting to sound desperate. It wasn't that hard at the moment.

Kalia looked down understanding the reason why. "Alrigh, but I must warn you...I'm a slow runner..." She said and started to jog or Jug....

A slow runner? I made mental note to remember, or else I might run ahead of her. My muscles tightened, awaiting the familiar strain of running. So I obeyed, jumping into a light jog. It felt good, the light tickle of rain whisping against my face mixed with muggy wind. My feet brushed over the moss and mud, and I could practically feel the squishy mixture inside my boots, oozing between my toes.
"A traveller but not a runner?" I teased Kalia lightly. She might have been the type who didn't enjoy talking while jogging; but I was about to find out, it appeared.

"Most...Of the...time...I don't...have to...run...from any....thing." Kalia answered joging. She never was good at this...not even when she was little, mostly because no one would let her...

"Hm," I said, exhaling slightly before returning to the normal deep breathing method I use with running; long and deep, filling my lungs completely.
It was better when you were running. At first, I didn't feel anyway. But as time burnt on, my muscles started to contract more and more. I started breathing through my mouth, louder. This was what I did best.

My feet pounded harder against the rough terrain beneath me. Running down roads or even just clear horizon was easy. But in a swamp, I had to dodge things. Rocks, mud, a tree root here and there.
And it was fun for me. The rain provided a light spray to assure I didn't get overheated, aid the sweat that was starting to form on my brow. "Great feeling," I sighed inbetween a breath of air. "...Right?"

Kalia stoped running. She was compleatly out of breath, and was pretty much chocking. Not righ. I feel ligh headed... Kalia's breathing was deap, she griped onto the nearest tree as she almost slid down into the mud. That's it...I'm done.

I closed my eyes, taking a deep breath, then letting it out. And then I noticed the absense of Kalia. It took me a few seconds before I realized she was behind me, and I gripped an overhead tree branch in order to skid to a stop, mud flying up in front of me. I leaned backward in order to stay out of its way, although there was no point. I was already filthy.
Kalia had rested against a tree. I bit my lip, starting forward. "I'm so, so sorry," I began. I had a feeling this apology was going to go on for a while. "Did I go to fast? I do that sometimes. I really am sorry. I should have noticed earlier. You okay? Can I get you anything?"

Kalia looked up at her and burst out laughing. "I'm OK, just a bit out of breath, that's all." She stoped, her voice becoming amused. "What can you get in a middle of nowhere?" She asked, in her mind a funny picture was forming. "Any how, don't be, don't appologize. You run fine...It's just that I need to get into shape..." Getting into shape...one thing I always wanted but never got around to...

I sighed, leaning against the opposite side of the tree. "Sorry," I said, a shortlived giggle escaping me before I turned back to being serious. Looking up at the sky, I saw the darkened sky with a single star as its companion.
Taking a deep breath, I let the half moon bathe me in its light. I busied my thoughts with other preoccupations so as to prevent Kalia from hearing my next few thoughts. Make a wish, someone had once told me. So I did.

Kalia looked up at the sky, thinking of funny thoughts compleatly random and compleatly off the subject. "Look! a star! and moon!!!" Kalia mumbled. Wish apon a star the wish'll come true, you'll fly high, and your life will... Forget the though...Forget the cursed memory...

"Yeah," I said in a soft voice, still focusing on my wish, hoping that perhaps the more I thought on it, the more probability it might really come true. I did so until my eye caught on another star, and my stomach jumped. Perhaps my star hadn't really been the first, just the first one to catch my eye.
In any case, everything was bathed in a blue light now, courtesy of the moon. I tilted my head up, letting the light wash over my face, eyes closed. "Wanna camp down for the night?" I asked Kalia, my face still upturned, my eyes still closed.

Kalia looked gloomly at the ground, and then up at a tree. "I suggest we sleep up in the trees, A. it's safer and B. Not as wet..." She said with a smile, knowing or rather guessing on what Ailiana was thinking of.
