Misconception About Happiness

Loid cleared his throat and looked at Lianlian, the spirit he assumed to be living from the river based on the scent coming from her. "Yes," he said, "I'm looking for my friends. Have you seen them? They are two males, one with white hair and one with brown hair." 

Lianlian blinked a few times before she gasped, seemingly remembering something. "Ah!" 

Loid moved closer. "What? You actually saw them? Where? When?" 

It must be said, among spirits and guardians and beings alike, Loid could tell easily whether the other person was telling the truth or not. It was also why he had quickly sensed Lianlian was just acting earlier, trying to trick him as perhaps, she had mistaken him as a normal traveler. 

"T-Those two men...I think I saw them," Lianlian said. "U-Um, they saved me yesterday... T-They're also in this cave."
