He doesn’t react with anything like yikes or the like as I expected, and I nod my appreciation, even if his gentle acceptance wasn’t outright voiced. ”Thank you.” It is reassuring, and some of the embarrassment at being lost ebbs. I’m a seasoned traveler, getting lost isn’t in my nature.
We lapse into a short silence, only filled by the drumming of the rain through the trees and into the cart. The road evens out too, and I sit up straighter. “Maybe the Greatwood wanted us to meet,” I say decisively, though there’s a bit of amusement in my eyes. I don’t know about things like fate, but I’m certainly grateful that the Greatwood brought me to meet someone like him.
A few more minutes of comfortable silence, and then I can see the warmth of lanterns through the curtain of rain and the barrier of trees. I nod vigorously at Niki. ”That would be such a great help,” I say. I’m worried about how I’ll get dry and warm again, but I’m hopeful that someplace will let me do their dishes and whatever other tasks need doing for a place to stay.
”And maybe point me to where I can find you again.” I give him a warm smile. ”I’d like to be able to visit. And help with hauling stuff, too.”
