Time had passed.

The sun dropped down again.

So time had passed.

And Calming…?

Calming explained to me.

And his tense face was being even more downward with each sentence he finished.

He told me he wondered.

"I actually wondered … how…?"

Thankfully, he'd undone the deep and full of emotions kowtow he'd performed earlier.

He got to explain and talk to me.

We were still in the forest. Still at the place our carriage broke down, to be more specific.

At this point, it was like a second home to us.

Thankfully, we'd be going away in a few.

I was growing more and more familiar with the surroundings since we'd been there for at least 6 hours now, I'd say.

And though his face wasn't quite willing to do so, his shoulders were facing mine.

"Pardon me to ask, O Noble Spirit, but…" at some point, eventually, his face went up and met mine, "Why may there be this great deal of distancing between the two of us…?"

We were talking and discussing all of what needed to be discussed.

"Just so that you don't try anything funny on me, you ding-dong…! "

Tough, yes, we were apart from each other.

"Just leave me be!

"I'm comfortable with you sitting this far away from me!

"What's more, I can hear you just fine!" I nodded to him after I was done shouting all of that super loudly.

Not sure whether he could distinguish and perceive that nodding of my head, though.

"Yes … I understand," putting up an awkward smile on his face, he went on, "But well, thirty meters is a bit … too much … only if you ask me, that is!"

We were far away from each other.

"It's necessary!" I shouted back again. "So that you don't try funny things on me!"

"I must apologize for this dumb intervention of mine, then, O Noble Spirit."

And in this apologetic and ridiculous setting, I was on one side, casually in my comfortable frog sitting position, while he was farther away from me, on the other side, formally sitting and resting on his knees as they were joined.

His hands were joined at the tip of his knees.

"Anyway, where was I, erm…"

And just like this, he got to take back where he left off…

"I actually wondered … how?

"How would she come to ask to meet with Foret's guardians.

"How could she just try something like that…?

"I had no understanding over this matter.

"I really was astounded but decided to still go with it and see what'd happen.

"But now it all holds much sense and meaning…

"You … you must be one of them--One of the guardians…!

"You must be, O Noble Spirit!

"--Oh! My blunder again!"

In an absurd frantic movement, he didn't dare to be slow as he brought both hands to his gaping mouth,

"I won't inquire again!"

"Meh."

Me, I am one of the dryads to Calming, apparently.

I don't quite get it, as always…

But well, that is just me.

In fact, as Calming had his own load of wonders, I wondered too.

How was I a dryad?

Why would I be one?

How come he thinks I'm one?

Many questions as always.

I don't get it, but that's just me.

I'm still new to all this thing people call life when I think about it.

I should be around one week old by now.

And that's very very not much, I can assure you.

"You don't inquire about me!!," I reminded him, still shouting, "That's right, Calming! You don't!"

"Ye--Yes, O Noble Spirit!"

The princess' title wasn't mine to use as I see fit anymore … but strangely enough, now he now seemed to hold me in even higher esteem.

Ultimately, I thought that'd be a problem.

But, no.

Far from being a problem, I think, probably.

As panicking as he'd been with me, "You won't allow me to kowtow before you in respect, O Noble Spirit," frantically bringing his whole head down, "But allow me to do this much at least!"

Yes.

I asked him not to inquire about my condition … of noble and high spirit or whatever!

Because, well, I didn't want to be found out another time…!

What if he got to figure out something out of some false and random info I might give him…

Both he and his dead friend had my identity found out … but it was only to get even more lost about my true identity!

"It's really just like in the elders' tales when I was but a wee kid … the noble spirits are real…"

Pfft.

Oh, please, don't make me laugh, Calming.

I'm having enough problems to repress my urge to laugh…!

Don't make it worse!

"--Anyway," bringing his head back up, "I'm truly sorry, O Noble Spirit!"

Waving at him, I indicated to him it was fine.

"Still, I should have understood beforehand! I should have noticed something!"

"It's fine, it's fine," waving his worries with the same hand even faster, "Now you understand. You finally do. I'm a Noble Spirit, and, err, you gotta obey me, right?"

"Very much so!" bowing his head down for the … I didn't count them anymore at this point, "Thank you very much, O Noble Spirit!"

Nor did I count all these 'O Noble Spirit' he threw at me … duh.

Kinda starts to get annoying.

"It all makes sense, O Noble Spirit.

"I kind of knew everything … ever since the beginning … I did not suspect anything much.

"Fact is, it is so much.

"I should have known, once again.

"I shall not say it enough times.

"The princess.

"She was so afraid and silent all the time.

"Weak and alone.

"She would cry and weep so much at night.

"I know she did not want me to hear her.

"Facing me and Sakage, the one you call Angry, O Noble Spirit,

"She did not want to show us her weaknesses.

"And I'm sorry about that. I could not be a good enough guardian to her.

"Guardian … huh…

"Can I even call myself a guardian…?"

Shaking his head with much sorrow and sadness, he got to pause for four, fives seconds before,

"Our princess is a good little girl, she has … she…

"You may not be fully acquainted with the full circumstances regarding why is it that Foret's domain has been thus ransacked and plundered by…

"I apologize, I should not get beside the point.

"I should--By the way, O Noble Spirit, if you may allow me to inquire about this much …"

"You may speak," I waved an allowing hand at him, "I shall answer if I am to do so."

"The princess … is she safe and sound?

"I … I cannot help but worry, O Noble Forest Spirit…"

"Crap."

"Wh--What did you say, O Noble Spirit?"
