His cheeks turned as red as the strawberry in his hand when she giggled and then sat next to him. As she spoke he listened intently cherishing every word of their conversation. Then thought about it for a few minutes. "I think there might be a cotton field somewhere near here,I seem to remember some travelers coming through this area once, I think they said something about cotton" he said, "as far as food goes I kinda just taught myself how to cook over a while," he continued, a little bit proud that she found his cooking good. "After a few years I just got pretty good at it," he looked over at the beautiful girl next to him and realized just how lucky he had been today. This morning he had been all alone, wondering where he would get his next meal from, but now he was sitting next to this princess who had literally fallen into his world, enjoying a great meal and actually talking to someone other than himself. "That tub in there," he said,"I Made it myself using some stone and wood, I even added a spot for the water to drain out, I can go take care of that If you want to sleep," he said before leaning over towards her and sniffing, "You smell like apples," he said matter-of-factly.
