Ingrid's mind was fuzzy when she woke up. She heard heavy water flow that was so noisy that it pushed her nightmares away. Her side was aching from the ground.

"What the...?"

Someone was hugging her with his bare arms.

"Calm down! It's just... it must be a reason for this! Maybe I can slip out from it..."

Ingrid tried to slip out, but the arms were rigid like a padlock.

-You're awake? -Said the man suddenly.

-Auwa, ye..yes. I just woke up...-Said the little prince and the other prince let her go.

She jumped to her feet.

He sat up and leaned against the wall. He looked very sleepy. Ingrid was staring at him thinking about an other poem of his about being tired to sleep and to wake up after.

-Where are we?-Forced the little prince herself out from her thoughts but came no answer. "Maybe he fell asleep again?"

She looked around. It was a cave, and sounded like there was a waterfall nearby.

She looked at him again. He was still wearing only his underpants, just like the kid.

-Where are you going?-She heard from behind.

-I just want to grab our clothes, they must be dry by now.

-Don't go too far. I can't save you now.- He sighed.

-Understood.

...

The cave was hidden behind a waterfall.

"How did we come up here? We were high in the middle of a cliff. I could see a narrow ledge where I could climb, but I couldn't imagine how HE could climb on these tiny spaces."

As Ingrid went out to the sunlight she stopped to admire the view.

Now she knew where they were.

There was the lake from the night before, and their clothes was hanged out to the nearby branches.

"He must have been relocating us. This is the second time I fell asleep and he carried me away."

Her face got hot again.

"I shouldn't think about this. I'm a cursed, I shouldn't hope."

The clothes were dry already. The boy-looking girl folded them and brought them back to the cave.

Karakan's cape was the heaviest piece of them all. The southern prince was still sleeping.

The brat covered him with his cloak and headed out to catch some fish.

She was too nervous around him to stay there.

"It must be because I am not used to be closer to anyone right? ...Right?"
