[center][color=9e0b0f]“You’re in over your head, Charlotte.”[/color]

[color=BBC7E1][center][i]Huh?[/i][/center][/color][/center]

The young woman had been chewing a significant-sized bite of pancake when she first heard the voice.  Charlotte had absolutely no idea what was happening. She took another forkful and brought it into her mouth with greater haste. There was a hopeless wish that she had been imagining that as she chewed with nervous vigor. A rush of dread filled her as her mind registered just how close this person was. Charlotte scoped the area rapidly, checking that she was still in the public eye. As the man spoke, she could discern that it was certainly a male, perhaps an older one. Though that did not help at all, as she had encountered many older gentlemen over the years. She adjusted her position to move her knees more inward as the voice continued on. [color=BBC7E1][i]He's right behind this tree, and he knows I was walking around last night...A stalker!?[/i][/color]

Charlotte shuddered. That was just the last thing she needed right now! 

There was an urge present to run around the tree and look at who it was, but she felt rooted to her spot in fear. [color=BBC7E1][i]One hundred percent a stalker. He saw me with Count Fritz last night.[/i][/color] She took another bite but went for some whipcream this time. Though most of the reason for her not moving was because she was afraid, there was a small part of her that was just enjoying her pancakes too much to get up. However, after that little bit, the man stopped talking. A perplexed look overtook her expression, and she met the eyes of Champion. The kitten stared at her blankly. 

Slowly, she rose up and picked up the picnic basket. She raised it over her shoulder, garnering a few stares as she began to tiptoe around the tree. A reflex moved through her muscle, and she almost slammed it down to smack whoever it was...but of course, no one was there now. 

Charlotte relaxed her shoulders, giving the surroundings another glance before moving back to her blanket. She plopped down with a sigh and rubbed her temples.

[color=BBC7E1][i]I'm sick of being threatened by cowardly men.[/i][/color]

[color=BBC7E1]"...You know what."[/color] Charlotte grabbed her notebook from the picnic basket with a bit of passion and flipped it open to a blank page. She started to write down as much as she could remember.  [color=BBC7E1]"I should not waste time being upset."[/color] She whispered softly to Champion. [color=BBC7E1]"He was a [i]stupid[/i] stalker.[i] He gave me free hints.[/i] I would bet good money that man has something to do with Calbert."[/color] Charlotte bit her lip with focus as she narrowed her eyes on the page before her. After a thoughtful pause, she continued writing.

After staring at the page for a moment, Charlotte groaned. She closed the book then let her body fall to the blanket. She laid down on her stomach and leaned her palms in her hands. With a distressed sigh, she then pouted. 

Her vision adjusted to the sight of the kitten kneading the blanket before her eyes. The sound of his sudden purring did enable a smile to pull at the ends of her lips, yet her mood remained rather ruined for the moment.

Why had that happened? The timing was incredibly strange. For one, she had not uncovered anything yet. Even then, the odds were incredibly stacked against her. 

Charlotte did not pose a threat at all.
