I stopped, turning around to look him in the eye. I let silence fall for a moment, trying to decide what I wanted to say. It probably would have been smarter to figure out what I wanted to say before I had turned around, but it was way to late for that.
Well... Well.... well you don't to be so scared of me being here.
I replied uncertainly, not wanting him to take it the wrong way.

Pike's brow furrowed at her display of uncertainty. Up to now, Narya generally showed a pretty strong assurance in herself. Maybe something he said didn't come out right.
"...Um.. okay..." he said, just as uneasily.

I bit my lip, looking around the forest for the first time.
Do you, uh, happen to know where we are?
I muttered quietly, just in case any squirrels were in the area and were listening in. I didn't want them to know we might be lost, they might leap out and attack then.
.... gosh I'm insane.

"Not really, but it doesn't really matter," Pike said, looking over his shoulder. "If we just keep following this path, we ought to be in good shape for a while."
When he said 'for a while', he really meant that something was bound to happen before long.

Yeah, I guess... I replied, not entirely convinced of this fact. Simple things like walking on a path tended to become complicated for me, no matter what I did. With our luck, we'd probably circle the entire forest twice before we found our way out.

Her lack of luck added on to Pike's own. The only lucky thing was that the path was a straight one until they reached a fork in the road... which they eventually did after a couple of hours and avoiding squirrels for Narya's sake.
"Okay..." Pike said, scratching his head. "Which road..."

I muttered angrily under my breath turning back and forth between two roads.
Well, I say we take left, because.... because, well, I think that's the right way. Or, maybe it's right, because, you know, right, right way....
I rambled, crouching down and poking the dirt as if I actually knew something about what was going on.

Okay, so she was indecisive for sure. Then again, who would be decisive with a fork in the road? A simple split in your way and which one do you take?
Pike sat down by a tree and thought. "Now, I came this way... so which way do we go back...?"

Eh, erm... that way!
I aid, closing my eyes and pointing in a random direction. It just so happened to be left, so with a shrug I started down the path. I was surprised I had even pointed at one of the trails in the first place.
What's life without a bit of adventure, right?

Pike twisted his lips in skepticism. He didn't remember coming from the left fork, but... Well, his life wasn't going to get much better anytime soon. A little adventure never hurt anyone, right?
He grinned and nodded. "Come on... Let's see where we end up." He began to walk the fork.

I smiled, walking after him. I looked around the woods, they didn't seem to be getting creepier or anything, so I assumed we were ok. In fact,t ht forest was getting quite dull. Tree... tree... tree... oh, rock! Oops, no, tree...
I'm booored!
I whined

Some adventure...
Pike kept on walking along, not really minding the fact that it was just a repetitive path of trees and no sign of change anywhere. Until Narya whined.
"Well, this forest is big... You can't really expect to be out of it anytime soon."

Yeah, well, don't you have any cool magic tricks or anything? I can't stand this.
I continued to complain, which really was my specialty. I felt almost like ramming my head into one of the many, many trees around myself. Then I thought, no, defy the forest, bang your head on a rock.

"Eh... I tried my hand at being a magician before," Pike said. "Needless to say, that became not exactly my first choice as a career..."
Pike was horrible with magic, which was a little unusual of course. Just what kind of elf was he, if at all? He lacked grace and lacked magic. What else did he not have that most other elves did? Some defect...
"But... Hey, you're a good fighter, aren't you?"

[ I looked him up and down, wondering what he was getting at.
The best there is... why?
I asked, narrowing my eyes at him
