The grin stayed in place as he saw her reaction, broadening if anything when she put her arm around his. He patted her hand gently before he started to walk in the direction of the bakery, Sven trotting along happily behind them as he took in the sights of the town. It almost felt... normal. Probably the closest to normal that anything had felt since arriving here.

Minus the fact that the shops were strangely built and the houses were just as weird and the streetlamps looked like they didn't hold fire but some kind of strange glass that appeared to light up on its own. It also lacked the smell of Arenfjord, the mixture of salt and fish that came with any waterfront kingdom, and that seemed to make his heart ache the most.

It was nice to have something familiar to look forward to. He sure hoped the sweets were free just like the carrots were.

"I know it's probably wrong of me, but... I'm really glad you're here, Anna," he said finally, staring at the ground as they walked. "I hated the thought of facing all this without you."
