“I wish I could meet him, you know.” Xenia said with a shy smile, staring at the flowers around them.
“Who?” Stefanos asked gruffly, picking up the flower crown he just made and placing it over Xenias head. 
Xenia rolled her eyes playfully, her scent turning sweeter, as she giggled at Stefanos flower crown. “The owner of the garden of course! I wish I could thank and tell him how grateful I’m for all the flowers he had gifted me.”
“He didn’t gift you those, you basically stole them from his garden Xenia.” Stefanos replied with a grunt and begin walking away, until it hit him about what he just said.
“I never told you I stole them, Adriano.”

"Hurry Adriano! Quickly!" Exclaimed a very giddy Xenia as she ran through the woods with sheer excitement, her dark locks bouncing around her perfect face as a huge smile stretched over her delicate face. 


Meanwhile Stefanos grunted in response, feeling ashamed to have gotten tired so quickly. 


I should have gone hunting more often. Stefanos thought to himself bitterly, but not before his wolf felt it necessary to voice his own opinion. 


Well maybe if you would have shifted a little more often than we wouldn't have come to this. Now stop complaining and don't make a fool out of us!
