"Marie. Will you go on a walk with me? Just us." Helix asked with a strange smile.
"Y-Yes!" Marie replied excitedly.
The two walked through the forest on the outskirts of Lexion together.
Helix pointed out the various plants on the ground and their medical, psychoactive, or poisonous features.
Marie pranced around and pointed to things she found interesting.
Helix would smile at her happy expression and look up the query on the plant.
Then they'd chat about it before Marie would hop away again.
"Marie." Helix called out when they were in an open meadow.
"Yes, Helix?" She asked with a passionate gaze.
"I just want to say… I'm thankful that you came back to me." Helix said while flashing her a bright smile.
Marie's eyes went wide, and her face heated up.
"What do you mean?" She asked.
"It just… feels like a dream.
You have helped protect me and have certainly saved my life." Helix confessed.
