Dzie kept pace with Viskyia the best that he could. He was glad that he had someone with experience to guide him along. From her physique he guessed that she knew what she was talking about. He swung his arms as instructed and managed to get out between short breaths ”Thank you…for..helping me…out.” He put his hand to his mouth and coughed. It was still winter and still pretty cold out, but Dzie didn’t notice, he had been running to hard he felt hot. But taking in the breaths of cold air seemed difficult to him, much more so then if the weather had been mild.
Dzie’s footsteps were harder then the half-human that was leading him. It wasn’t only because he weighed more, but his old boots were not the best for remaining silent at speeds, they also weren’t the best for running in but he could afford anything else…and didn’t want to ask to borrow money. However once he fixed his posture and style of running as suggested it was a much less sounding beat on the ground below him.
Hoping that they would be slowing down again Dzie got excited, but it wasn’t to be. They were to sprint…he mustered up every last bit of strength that he could to try and keep going. He nodded and was off. He didn’t worry about being able to keep up with the runner, he was only worried about pushing himself to his own limits as he sprinted. Luckily the sprint lasted a much shorter time then the walking and jogging, Dzie thought he was about to pass out. He wiped his forearm across his face to take away the sweat as he breathed heavily. He wondered why she had decided to help him out, was it obvious that he was new to this? Was she just a nice person? Or where there hidden motives? Dzie was suspicious of strangers offering to help, he wasn’t sure why though.
Once he caught his breath he said ”So I see. This is mu-much harder then I thought it would be. *cough* How long ha-ha--*cough* have you been at it?” he decided that it would be rude to ask her motive for helping him, surely she was just a kind person…after all, what would one want with a scared half-human/elf
