Anna followed him happily, he had been igniting a new side of her. But also finding out more about the world as well had her enthralled to learn more. Fear still sat in her belly, almost being killed was something she didn't want to happen again. It was kind of odd how quickly she seemed to rebound from the trauma. But her father had most definitely talked a lot of the fear out of her. At that time, Anna didn't have too many questions - she was just a crying mess. Her thoughts hadn't all been compiled yet, until now. 

As they walked through the town and quickly out of it, Anna looked behind her to see if anyone was watching them. But not many people were out and about it seemed. The walk turned into more lush and vibrant greens around them as they continued; the forest was Anna's sanctuary almost. She felt at home amongst the greenery, and chirping of nature around her. Continue to follow him she listened to everything he had to say - carefully. He hoped she had been well, and she smiled softly at this sentiment. 


When he brought her to this spot, she smiled. Of course Anna had found this place a long time ago, and used to bring Cassandra so they could play in the water and relax. She hadn't been here in a long time since the attacks, she stopped and stared at the water. Another smile appeared, she quickly took off her shoes and walked towards the water. Placing her feet in it, she took a deep breath in and raised her head up towards the sky. Letting it out and opening her eyes she stared up into the emerald trees, the wind blew slightly. the bottom of her dress was absorbing water she could feel some extra weight by didn't mind. 

"I've been well, I had a lot of emotions to sort through," Anna said and took another step forward into the water. The cool rushing feeling of the water against her feet felt relaxing. "Lucio," Anna looked over her shoulder at him, "you did more than enough for me. You saved my life, because of you - I am able to still do this". She gestured towards the water, and forest. Her voice was thick with sincerity as she talked to him. "The forest has always been my favorite place, and I almost never saw it again" the tone in her voice resonated a genuine sadness. 

She turned around and took a step out of the water, lifting up the bottom of her dress and beginning to wring out some of the excess water that had collected in the fabric. "You saved me, and had no obligation to - just some girl from a Village whose sister ran into them," she partially laughed and continued wringing out her dress. After a few moments of silence and continually fiddling with the bottom of her dress. She moved forward to Lucio, standing closer than one would probably expect. Anna's eyes seemed shifty, she slowly lifted her hands to his face - each hand on each side, her thumbs stroked his cheekbones. "I have no anger, or resentment to you," she said quietly, her face serious, "I would assume someone whom once said he was falling for me - would have better restraint". She lowered her hands to her chest, lacing her fingers together. "I do want to know more, about the Vampires, and Werewolves". Pausing for a moment, she realized they had never talked about Werewolves to each other, she quickly tried to recover. 

When he said he was indeed a hunter, Anna chuckled "it makes sense why you aren't bothered by killing him,  and how you know what to do". She looked around the forest, nature was lively around them - birds watching from above as the two conversed. "I'm not angry about anything, I am sad though - to be honest," she looked away from his face and towards the stream, "thinking of you helped me get through the past few days. You're so sure of yourself, and caring," she looked back at him and placed one hand on the back of his neck. Raising herself up on her toes, and lightly placing her lips to his right cheek - she pulled away close to his ear "Thank you, Lucio". She rocked back onto the flats of her feet, her hand slowly made its way from the back of his neck sliding down his chest before it retracted back to her quickly. Anna realized she was probably being more intimate than she needed to be, but she was drawn to the stranger. And wanted to get to know him more. Saving her life was a plus, but he was catching her attention in many other ways. Smiling again at him, genuinely and a hint of nervousness shined in it - especially after she kissed his cheek. "I want to know everything you know..." she whispered to him, her hands shook with nerves.
