Solo woke up inside the room on his cot. He could feel that the sun was up and would burn upon his skin if he was to step outside.

He looked around for the familiar face if the boy but he was nowhere to be seen. His mind wavered with thoughts.

He was quizzical of how he ended up on his cot when he was sure that he was lying outside his hut.

"Hi Solo! You seem to be in a trance!" Gui stared at him with a smirk.

On seeing this, he left a sigh of relief. His body was relieved from all the stress that he unknowingly held within him.

"Where were you?" He asked.

"Well, hello to you too! I am overjoyed by the wonderful greeting!" He mocked at him.

"You are mocking at me!"

"Duh!"

"I asked you a question!"

"I went to search for the Rainwish flower and some juicy fruits." Gui said showing him a leaf basket full of blue berries, cherries and a few ripe mangoes.

"From where did you get the basket?"

"I made it myself!"

"You made them?"

"Yes!"

"I can't believe it!"

"Or else, you tell me, who in the world will make this basket for me in this depth of the woods!"

"Someone might!"

"They would first try to kidnap me!"

"So you know that!"

"Know what?"

"You know that going into the forest alone is dangerous and you may end up being kidnapped."

"I sure can throw a few punches!"

"Right! A fragile boy like you can scream as loud as you want but not throw a single punch!"

"I can defeat you!" Gui got into his punching position.

"I would love to see you try!"

"I am afraid that you wouldn't love to be hurt by my sharp and strong punches."

"You think I would be hurt by your punch?" Solo burst out laughing.

"I would have punched you square in the jaw had you not given me shelter during my vulnerable state."

"Loyal, I see!"

"Whatever!"

"But you could have called me to accompany you."

"Then what? Burn you in this immense heat?"

"Umm..."

"I thought so!" Gui settled down on the bed and kept his basket on the floor.

"Eat up then! Do you want me to get you something to eat?"

"I am content with these; I really don't want a package of blood!"

"I was asking if you wanted real edible food. I can ask someone to being it for you."

"No thanks, I can do with these fruits." Gui popped another cherry into his mouth.

"How did I end up on the bed?" Solo asked after a pause.

"I carried you here!" He said without thinking.

"You carried me? A human boy?" Solo asked with amusement and confusion in his eyes.

"I was just kidding! You are surely too heavy for me and my hands would fall off if I try to carry you!" He said with a laugh.

"Exactly my thoughts!"

"Whatever but I am not that weak!"

"Yeah right! But how did I end up on the bed?"

"I think you sleep walked in here!"

"I never had that before!"

"Everything has a first time!"

"That's still weird!"

"You surely are weird!"

"I am not!"

"Yes you are!"

"No!"

"Yes!"

"Whatever!"

"Giving up? So soon?"

"There is no use if speaking sense to fools!"

"That's right; it's the most dangerous thing to do due to which I don't try speaking sense into you."

"A good try to backfire me!"

"You brought it upon yourself!"

"Maybe!"

"How old are you?"

"23 years!"

"I didn't ask the age you look like. I asked your real age!"

"Oh, like that! I am 279 years old!"

"Oh my God! Such an old Grandpa!"

"Hey!"

"I am just stating facts!"

"I don't need a stupid nickname though."

"It's cute!" Gui said laughing lightly.

Solo tried calming his rapidly beating heart. He scooted a bit away from Gui and tried to hide his flushed face.

"When are you going back to your house?"

"So eager to let me go?"

"You need to return! Your family might be worried sick trying to find you."

"I will go but only after 2 more days."

"Why 2 days?"

"The Rainwish flower will only bloom for another two days after which we can see it after another 200 years.

"Ok, we can try to find it!"

"But how can you?"

"I will accompany you at night."

"Ok, got it!"
