Tik tak

Elizabeth walked along merrily, singing small snippets of songs that would pop into her head. she could tell Night was worried and that he was anxious to get where they were headed, but she felt fine. They had their own guardian of sorts, after all.

Every now and again, she would she a flash of orange moving through the trees. The creature from the night before walked slow, but sure did move fast through trees. Maybe that was what they mainly did, and walking was a secondary mode of movement.

Walking around with Night was fun to Elizabeth. Every time she tripped or stumbled (which was often) he would catch her in no time to prevent her from hurting herself. He seemed intrigued by all the different things around them. Almost as much as Elizabeth was, but not quite.

She was constantly wandering away from the path trying to look at the strange plants that surrounded them. Some were pointy and some were round. A few looked like they would try to swallow her up if she got too close. Night would usually have a small panic attack each time she got near one of those. It made her giggle each time because his facial expressions were hilarious to see.
