Everyone wants to lead an extraordinary life Posted on August 11, 2025 at 00:39:28 AM by Augustus
Her quiet voice grabs his focus as he hangs on her words. There was definitely something going on by the way she acted and how it seems she was holding back emotions. He, too, would be frustrated if he had gotten stuck unable to get out. He would be so embarrassed. He needs to let her know it wasn't a bother to him, that it was duty, and because he wanted to help.
Finally, she admits her need so he smiles. Though she then tried to step back and hits yet another tree in her way. His amber head tilts to the side as she asks where he was. She may not be able to see his confusion, but the next thing she says brings light to the entire situation. "Oh!" Her voice had been so light he might not have heard her if he wasn't paying extra close attention. His own voice was not so quiet as he gasps in realization
"I'm sorry I didn't know." Maybe he should have. His father would have pegged that being the issue from the very beginning. It all made so much sense now. He was already close, but he steps closer to investigate how she was stuck. "I am right beside you. Exactly where I will try to guide you to be." He says with confidence. "You are stuck between two trees at your head. They are very close together. And there is more trees directly behind you."
"You just need your head and shoulders to be in the correct position to be free. Lift your head up some and move it to the left. Then take a slow step back while rotating your body towards my voice." He smiles while trying to give her correct directions to getting free. Not that he has ever done this before, but he was trying. "Make sure to go slow and watch your nose." Maybe 'watch' wasn't the best term to use. He winces thinking she may take offense before focusing back on the task. Replies:
