Vivian smiled happily at his answer, and how he smiled while he recounted the memory of his mother and father. That smile when away when she looked to the forest as Ashton mentioned the animals attacking travelers. She couldn't help but wonder why, but she figured that there was no point in asking because Ashton might not know either. She smiled at his quiet comment about training in this forest as a knight, and at the peaceful scenery around them. After a while of walking through the forest, the both of them soon came across a man wearing a black cloak. The man smirked at the both of them and he stated to Ashton, "Such a nice day for a walk, especially for a nice couple," He continued, reaching his hand out towards Ashton, "For this fine day, I'm willing to give you a nice deal. Allowing you to continue onwards, for a small special fee of 5 Yukkas, and some time with your girl" Vivian thought she heard a twig snap somewhere nearby and she looked around cautiously.
