"No," Aliana responded a hint of sarcasm present, "It's to play hide and seek with."

Hatta smirked, flaring his eyes wide. "What? It is? Why then, I've been using tents wrong all this time!" he exclaimed.

"Indeed you have been!" Aliana exclaimed with a grin on, "Everyone uses tents incorrectly and it's my job to make sure they use them the right way."

Hatta chuckled. "Mhm, I see." he replied. "But the whole purpose of hide and seek is to not be found."

"If your the hider yes," Aliana countered with a laugh, "But if you are the seeker that is precisely your purpose!"

"Well yes, but using a tent would make it far too easy for the seeker!" Hatta looked at her.

(I'm really busy this weekend but I'll respond when possible.)

"Who said we were only using one tent?" Aliana asked with a slight giggle.

(lol alright. I got a new phone, so I may not be as active)

Hatta raised an eyebrow slightly. "Are you imagining…how many tents?" he asked slowly.

"As many tents as you want," Aliana responded with a little shrug, "Why do you ask?"

"It doesn't quite make sense." Hatta replied with a laugh.

"It makes perfect sense!" Aliana huffed as she crossed her arm, "Each person hides in a tent and the seeker has to guess which tent the people are in!"

He laughed again. "Uhm…alright then." he replied, shaking his head a little.

"What were you thinking?" Aliana asked curiously.

"Nothing." Hatta replied with a shrug. "I don't know."

Aliana gave a little shrug, "Okay."

Hatta sighed, and ran a hand through his hair under the hat, shaking his head a little.

Aliana stayed quiet fiddling with her straps. She was trying to figure out why Hatta was shaking his head.

(gtg to bed. Goodnight!)

Hatta sighed softly and kept walking.

(Night!)

Aliana bit her lip before quietly asking him. Her voice raising and falling with uncertainty, "Is something bothering you?"

"No. Just thinking about what's ahead." Hatta replied, shaking his head a little.

"Of course," Aliana easily accepted the answer. It couldn't be the only answer, but it was an acceptable one at that.

Hatta sighed softly. There was a three way fork in the path, and he hesitated for a moment, before taking a turn down the right hand one.

Aliana followed after glancing at the other two. She knew taking the right hand path would be smartest since to exit all they had to do was go right. Even though it gave her some worry.

(gtg to bed)

Hatta sighed softly, and kept walking.

Aliana wish she knew why he kept sighing. She let one Of her hands reach out again to trail against the smooth stone wall.

Hatta shook his head again. He was wrapped up in his own thoughts, which were mostly what he was sighing at.

Aliana bit her lip before asking to sastifiy her curiosity, "Why do you keep sighing?"

"Hmm? Oh. Nothing. Just thinking." He replied, looking over at her for a moment, then away again.

"Is there a reason you won't look at me?" Aliana asked noticing his little pattern. She was starting to worry he didn't like her.

"What? Oh, no. I just…I'm thinking. That's all." He replied with a shrug, looking straight at her this time, hardly blinking.
