I imagined, wherever she lived before, that the males must've loved her. She might already have her one true love. My self esteem lowered, but I thought. How could I fall in love with someone I just met? When she told me her name, I thought it fit her. Azura. What a beautiful name. "That is a very interesting name", I said, complimenting her. "The new lands bring me here, miss", I told her. "I left home, and my two dear sisters to explore here, and this is where my travels have led me. I might even find a new home", I blurted out. I was internally angry with myself. When I was nervous, I might blurt like this. What happened to the confident, handsome Arrane that could totally keep a cool face while talking to anyone. The way Azura gazed at me...Her eyes were so alluring.
"What are you doing here, miss?" I questioned her. I didn't feel safe leaving her alone in these wilds. There were other, rude males, and who knows what they would do to her. I was suddenly feeling so protective of her. A flash back went through my mind of my two younger sisters. So innocent, and sweet, a little bit like Azura. And yet, Azura was so polite, just like them. She was a little reminder of the family I missed so much.
