Alone..

[Aiden]

Aiden followed her slower than usual.  When he got to a low branch he leaped down, onto the ground.  He looked at Sky and the others.  "So now what?"  Aiden asked, rubbing his slightly healed gash.

[Sky]

"What ever you'd like." Said Sky, leaning against the tree.

[Aiden]

"Hmm...well in that case.  No more climbing trees for me"  Aiden replied, flashing a mishchevious smile.  He folded his arms and thought for a moment.  "What else is there to do in the forest late at night?"

[Sky]

"Well...I'm really not sure." Sky said after thinking for a moment. She glanced at Aiden then at the ground.

[Aiden]

Aiden paused then sat on the ground.  "I guess we could sit here and chat I suppose"  he suggested.  He ran his hand through the grass for a moment, thinking.

[Sky]

"Sure." Agreed Sky, sitting down on the ground also. "So what would you like to chat about?" She asked, setting her chin on the palm of her hand.

[Aiden]

Aiden leaned his back against a tree.  A hint of a smile appeared at the edges of his lips.  "I didn't really think about that..." he said quietly.  He thought for a short moment.  "How do you like Hogwarts?"  Aiden asked.  His pale face showed an obvious frown as he finished speaking.  He hated small talk but it was all he could think of at the time.

[Sky]

Sky's lips curved into a little smile when she spotted his frown. She could see he didn't really know what to discuss. "I like it a lot. Good food." She joked.

[Aiden]

Aiden smiled slightly as he got what she was getting at.  "Well, thats good"  he said, chuckling quietly.  Aiden layed his arms on his knees and tilted his head shortly to the side.  "So hows life been treating you lately?  Not too bad I hope." He asked casually.  Aiden rubbed his gash again, it felt completely better.

[Sky]

"It wasn't the greatest a few days though, but for some reason, being around you made me feel better." She grinned. "Thanks."

[Aiden]

"I'm glad I could help"  Aiden said.  He flipped his hair out of his eyes.  "However, I'm not quite sure what I did.  But i'm glad it worked" His smiled widened.

[Sky]

"I think it's just getting out and hanging with someone while actually having a good time." Sky said, then sighed. "See, I just went through a breakup and haven't really been around anybody."

[Aiden]

Aiden pressed his lips into a hard line.  "I'm sorry"  he apologized "That must be tough.  Is there anything else I can do to help you feel better?"

[Sky]

"No. I'll be okay." She looked at him sincerely. "But I appreciate it." Sky looked up at the stars then at the ground.

[Aiden]

"No problem" he replied.  Aiden sat there quietly and looked at the castle.  After a moment he stood up.  "Hey, lets get out of here"  he said, reaching his hand out to help Sky up.
