"Oh come on, ma'am, you need to be havin' a positive attitude; look at the world, it's absolutely breath takin', don'tcha think?" He asked, halting suddenly, to spin around to face her with his arms splayed out.

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Annaliese blinked quickly and glanced around, "Oh, I..I guess."

[mationix]

He let out a sigh and shook his finger at her. "Come on ma'am, try and be more lively, every horrible thing always has a bright side!"

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

She chuckled and shrugged, "Okay, I'll try.."

[mationix]

"That's the spirit, ma'am! It doesn't hurt to bein' a little cheerful every now and then," he said, turning around and continuing to walk.

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

"How do you stay so cheerful?" She asked curiously.

[mationix]

"If so many bad things happen to you, you can't help but notice the little things," he said, looking over his shoulder to grin at her.

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Annaliese felt a little bad. Here she was complaining when she didn't have it twice as bad. She glanced down and pursed her lips.

[mationix]

"Are you OK ma'am?" Zach asked, slowing down and stopping. "I...er didn't mean to hurt you, ma'am, emotionally I mean."

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

"No, it's nothing you did, Zach," She shook her head, assuring him quickly, "I just felt bad for complaining."

[mationix]

He snorted and gave a shrug. "Ma'am, if that was the case, then a ton of people would be feeling bad for complaining about silly things. Everyone needs to complain."

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Annaliese chuckled softly, "Well, I suppose that's true."

[mationix]

"Exactly, ma'am. Which is why you needn't worry about it no more, got it?" He said sternly, as if talking to a little child.

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Annaliese nodded, "I'll try not to, Zach," she answered softly.

[mationix]

Zack clapped his hands together, giving her a grin. "Perfect, now that we're all on the same page, let's head out; the sooner we do that, the sooner we'll get there."

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

She gestured, "You lead the way. I have no idea where we are."

[mationix]

He nodded and set off slowly, as if to preserve the time walking outside.

(Time skip?)

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

[ Can you do the skippy? I wouldn't know where to start it xD ]

[mationix]

( Sure)

Zach wiped his forehead with the back of his hand, grimacing a bit. "We're almost there ma'am, just ten more minutes," he said, calling over his shoulder. "Are you feelin' alright? We stopped a couple hours ago, though do you need another break? There's a shady area over there if you need a rest." The black man pointed to where a small cluster of trees stood, their leaves waving gently in the small breeze.

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Annaliese was not used to sweating so much. It made her feel gross and entirely unattractive. She nodded faintly and shuffled over to the shade, dropping down onto her knees.
