"ah, must be interesting knowing someone with the same name as yours." he stares at her, waiting for her to look up at him.
-
Echo clenched her jaw. 'Enough with the small talk. How long till we get there?'
-
"nunya business, until you tell me why you are trying to run away from the city." he stands in front of her, blocking her way, waiting for a viable answer
-
Echo glanced up at him, glaring. She didn't try to push past him, instead stood very still. 'Why do you wanna know? What's it to you?'
-
"just an inquiry. i wanna know if i'm leading some sort of princess, or satanic worshiper, or a weirdo through the woods." he sits down on a fallen tree, and now he's the one looking up at her. "i don't want to be responsible for something like that." he shrugs, and gives Echo a smug look
-
Echo narrowed her eyes at him, before gritting her teeth and letting out a sharp exhale. 'My mother and father are forcing me into an arranged marriage,' she snapped, folding her arms. 'Happy now?'
-
Heath's eyes widen as he stands up. "is your family looking for you? oh god, i can't get into more trouble. most of the town's rich people already hate me." he starts rambling, mostly to himself. "alright, here's what's gonna happen. either you can head back right now, or we can keep going out of the city. but whatever choice you make is permanent. if you change your mind, well, too bad."
-
'Or else what?' Echo said, unfazed by his sudden panic.
-
"i have my secrets, you have yours. tell me your name and maybe i'll explain some things about myself. maybe." he smiles slyly, despite the fact that he could be in a whole world of trouble if he was caught "kidnapping" this girl.
-
Echo exhaled sharply and leaned against the tree, staring at the stranger. 'Echo,' she said quietly, looking away.
-
Heath smiles, "hmm, i wasn't expecting you to give me your real name." he pauses for a second, then holds out his arm for a handshake "i'm Heath. and the reason i can't go back if i'm seen with someone who ran away, is because i will get hung. i'm an orphan, no one would take me in, so i've had to resort to stealing to stay alive."
-
'Right,' Echo said, looking down at his hand but not taking it. 'So you're a criminal.'
-
"well there's no need to hurt my feelings," he puts his hand over his heart to recover from the rejected handshake and makes a mock sad face. "so what's your decision? speak now, or forever hold your peace."
-
'I'm not going back,' she said stubbornly, still glaring.
-
"alrighty then, let's go." Heath starts walking away, not looking back to make sure Echo was following, because a recognized the determination to escape
