The man sighed, leaning his back against a tree trunk, knee bent to rest his foot on the bark. He closed his amber eyes a moment, and without thinking reached out, trying to feel something... anything familiar. He opened his eyes again, frowning worriedly. "I hope nothing happened to her..." he said softly to himself. Horrible fantasies filled his mind, and he got off the tree quickly. "Okay i'm going to go look for her >>" he started walking back briskly, feeling around for any breathing pattern.
Suddenly he stopped, feeling a warm patch of air moving at a fast pace through the trees. He perked up, looking over in its direction. Concentrating more, he felt a quick, steady breathing pattern. He moved a little closer to it, and felt it stop moving. He turned a corner around a clump of trees.
"Lohiya! ^^"
He blinked, then smiled brightly at the familiar face. He vaulted over a clump of bushes and immediately wrapped the redheaded Hylian in a tight embrace. "There you are," he breathed in relief. He pulled back, stroking her hair softly. "You had me worried there for a bit. Are you alright?" he asked, concerned.
Bella smiled. "I'm fine ^^." she reassured him. "I just ....had someone-THING... i had to take care of..." she said with a slightly evil grin.
Lohiya raised an eyebrow. "Uh-oh... the grin is not promising..." he said, amused.
Bella chuckled. "This stupid boy stole my pack.... but the silly thing ran into the *forest*." she grinned.
Lohiya chuckled. "Ah, well. I bet he'll think twice before doing that again
" Taking her lightly by the hand, he started forward. "Iya and Ayalmar are waiting up ahead,"
