Night felt as if Elizabeth had scolded him with just her eyes. He raised an eye brow and felt the sting of the “woman’s look” as if was often referred too. He had never gotten that from any woman before, it was a first for him but he felt as if he shouldn’t argue. He let out a sigh of defeat and let the odd creature hoist him up and ascend to the tree tops. He felt very awkward and unsafe but Lizzy seemed to be doing fine so he held on and waited for it to be over with.
As Night awaited his destination he wondered to himself why there was so much about this place that brought out things in him he had never discovered before. His connection to Elizabeth seemed to be growing, though he had no woman he had ever drawn within his circle, excluding his own Mum of course. He was finding himself to be nervous… nervous! By all the Seven Seas he had never been nervous about any storm, any creature and least of all any woman. At times he felt unsure of himself, which has never happened before, with the exception of when he was a young lad and hadn’t yet become a man… mistakes are a given whilst a child… He sighed once more, wishing this damned creature would hurry up.
When they reached the top Night knew for sure he didn’t want to look down. He kept his eyes forward and kept within close distance of Lizzy. He didn’t want to feel clingy or give her the impression he was either afraid of heights, which was somewhat true… ok, a lot true.. or that he was being over protective… which was most often the case. He wasn’t going to say anything about it, just let her draw her own conclusions.
He awaited Fulwah’s accompaniment so that they could settle into their room. He knew that once he was able to sit down for a bit and take his boots off he’d be okay. He wanted to lie down and stretch out for a few. Seeing as how these creatures are fairly big he had hoped that the beds would be somewhat large as well. Finding a bed to suit him was a terrible feat.
