Chapter Nine

“Oh, lookie! That cloud is so pretty!" Garnet cried deliriously as she pointed at a plain white cloud floating in the sky. "Lookie, Hywel! Lookie! Look! Look!" she tugged vigorously on his forearm, urging him to look above their heads.

"Yes, yes, that cloud is very pretty." He grumbled, annoyed. "Now stop moving or else you'll fall!"

Hywel was carrying the raving brunette in his arms as they made their way back to the part of the Wood where all his aides-turned animals inhabited in. He hadn't expected her to be so heavy due to her short stature and petite frame. It was probably the first time in his life after being cursed into a wolf-boy hybrid that he had actually wished that he could transform into a full-fledged wolf at will so he could carry the girl without so much struggle.

He released a loud groan as he passed through the leafy vines that covered the entrance between the two tall trees, immediately catching the attention of the animals inside. They all turned their gazes onto the two as Hywel struggled to reach to the middle of the grassy plot of land and laid the girl down with extreme caution. Garnet let out a loud, irritated cry when her back made contact with the soft grass.

Hywel's eyebrows knitted in chagrin as he looked down at her. "What now?" he growled.

She stretched her arms out and did grabbing gestures with her fingers. "I want to be carried!"

The boy sighed. "I'm fully aware that you're incredulously immature, Garnet, but your mentality is practically regressing into an infant's."

"Come on! Carry me!" she cried out with her arms still held out towards him. "I don't want to walk."

This earned a scornful glare from the boy. "So your current state of childishness is due to laziness rather than your brain deteriorating, I'm not certain if I should be relieved or repulsed."

"Come on, come on," she continued to mumble with closed eyes and a foolish grin plastered on her face, completely oblivious to the boy's glares and insults.

Hywel shook his head and groaned in exhaustion. Mathis was the first one out of all the animals to approach them, shooting the boy a perplexed look when he reached their side. "What happened to the little miss, Master Hywel?" he asked, wrinkling his tiny nose in confusion.

"We were looking for breakfast in the Wood and there was a brief instant when I'd lost sight of her and a second later I found her lying on the ground, curled into a ball and laughing hysterically." He explained, sighing and ran a hand through his silver hair. "I found some berries on the ground beside her, they must've been cursed. So ever since this morning, she has been incomprehensible and delirious."

"I see…" the squirrel hummed in understanding. "But why did she need to look for breakfast? Doesn't she have a basket filled with food inside?"

"She said that those are meant for her grandmother and that she was strictly forbidden to eat them.
