Ruh Roh (One on One)

Magnolia noticed the boy approaching the spot and flew down to him, her wings glinting in the sunlight.

"Are you Sam?"

 

The girl looked to be about 7 or 8, her dark brown curly hair framing her face.

"I'm Magnolia," she said cheerfully. "You're Eden's friend."

 

Eden floated down after her, looking embarrassed.

"Ach. Sorry, Sam."

 

She looked uncomfortably.

"Magnolia, head back, okay? Alyndar Aspen is probably wondering where you are."

The pixie pouted before taking to the skies, disappearing into the woods.

Eden sighed, folding her hands.

"Listen. We're friends, right?"

 

"I thought you were cross with me," she replied, her brow furrowing as she landed on the ground.

 

"Yeah, well..." She sighed, leaning against a tree. "It's more the possibility. The idea that you thought that I'd done something that cruel."

 

"Even so. If I knew that it was a possible side effect I would have told you. It's an awful thing to have your friendships forced like that."

 

"And I wouldn't have done that to you," she said, crossing her arms slowly.

 

She gave him a hesitant smile.

"I'm... sorry too. It wasn't good of me to be so harsh."

 

She ran her hand through her hair, exhaling slightly.

"Yeah, well... you wouldn't be the first." She paused before giving him a small smile. "So... we're good?"
