Aeden looked down at the ground as he walked back with her. She was right about the shouting, he just forgot in his panic. The option of going back that she had asked him to consider, though...there was just no way. Even if they went back, it had taken hours just to get this far out. They had no plan, either, and he would not risk her life in an improvised break-in. His first duty was to her safety. It seemed that she had realized this as well though, so he said nothing. 

As he was thinking about this, Aeden noticed her sudden start. He tried very hard not to break out into laughter when Genevieve started freaking out about the bugs. He knew that this was really not the time for it, but it was still just so amusing, and the sudden break in the tense atmosphere didn't exactly help him keep control. He resorted to biting the inside of his cheek to stifle the chuckles trying to leave his throat as he walked over to the princess. Catching her hands, he removed them from her head and looked through her hair for any more of the offending creatures. "Hold still, I'll take care of it. Ah, they're gone now." 

When he stepped away from her, though, he realized that perhaps finding a place to wash up would be a good idea after all. They both were a bit worse for wear after that night, and perhaps it would help Genevieve feel a bit better if she wasn't covered in all the various extra pieces of nature left on them from the cave and the woods. "I'm sure we should be able to find a water source of some sort around here." He entered the cave once more to pick up the bag and lantern he had left behind, then returned to the horse. "Let's go look for one."
