Arya punched him again anyways and walked after Garth, but Bren had other ideas. Going up into a tree, he tree - jumped to in front of Garth. "So what's your connection? And why does She keep hitting me?" He asked.

[The Skarzs]

"Arya and I have been travelling together for a while, and that's all you need to know. As to why she keeps hitting you, well. . ." Garth smiled fondly. "She has a pretty fiery way of staying put on an idea."

[Cornflower MM]

"So, her name's Arya? A pretty name for an even prettier maid." Bren said, looking past Garth to Arya, who snorted.

[The Skarzs]

"Are you still here?" Garth said briskly. "She said you were not to travel with us."
"Oh, I'm not travelling with you," Bren insisted. "You two are only going in the same direction I am! How nice, hmm?"

[Cornflower MM]

Arya heard that, and said, "You don't even know which way we're going!'' She protested, then looked into his hazel eyes, and her breath hitched for a moment.

[The Skarzs]

Bren smiled winningly. "Too bad; I liked going this way!"
Garth rolled his eyes and pushed ahead, trying to banish the voice that was getting more annoying every syllable that was heard of it.

[Cornflower MM]

Arya smirked, and followed Garth, then turned around and punched Bren again.

[The Skarzs]

Making sure Bren was far enough away that he would not be able to hear them, Garth spoke quietly to Arya. "I don't know exactly what is with him, but I think it has something to do with you. I know you can handle yourself, but. . . please." He hoped she would understand what he was trying to say.

[Cornflower MM]

Arya paled. She knew exactly what Garth was talking about. "Okay." She whispered,  then slipped her paw into his and gave it a squeeze.

OOC That alright?

[The Skarzs]

OOC: That made me smile, actually.

BIC: Garth blushed, then gave Arya's paw a squeeze back. "No hard feelings about what happened yesterday?" he asked, referring to their scuffle.

[Cornflower MM]

"No. But you never let E finish. You're a sweetheart, Garth." Arya said, blushing. Then she looked at his face from the corner of her eye.

[The Skarzs]

"Eh. . ." This was probably the scariest thing Garth had ever encountered, but instead of running away, he could only blush furiously. He thanked his stomach for the sound it made: a loud gurgle. "Are. . . are you hungry?" he stammered.

[Cornflower MM]

"Now that you mention it, yes." The squirrel said.

[The Skarzs]

Garth considered sitting down, but remembered Bren would easily be able to get to them again if they did. Looking back, he was relieved to see the squirrel out of sight, but he took food out of his pack and ate while they walked anyway.
Bren was, at the moment, wondering how a beautiful squirrel like Arya would be with a potato-headed excuse of a squirrel like Garth. He spat the name out. "Garth? It's like gagging on mud. Oh, well. We'll see how well he fares. . ."

[Cornflower MM]

Arya did the same, wondering how long it would take until they could be Free of Bren

OOC Sorry, couldn't resist.
