Fifty-fifth Prompt: Lost in a crowd

||∞'°••~•^°^••~Ω~••^°^•~••°’∞||

Susan didn't have had a bad feeling about bringing Edmund with her.

She had needed to go shopping and wasn't sure if she could carry everything, so she had brought Edmund. He clearly hadn't been that happy, but Susan was sure that they could have a great time.

That was before she had lost him in the crowd.

"Edmund!", she called and turned around searchingly.

"Edmund, that's not funny!!"

"Miss?", someone said behind her. Susan turned around and looked into the eyes of a familiar face. It was the boy from the train station!
Susan really needed much of self-control to keep herself from groaning.

"You seem to search someone", he said.

Susan really didn't want to answer. But he was probably her only way.

"My brother Edmund, I can't find him", she said.

"How does he look?", the boy asked.

"Black hair, a little bit taller than me, his shirt's green", Susan said.

The boy nodded.
"Alright, I'll look over there!", he said and pointed to the left. Susan nodded.
"Then I'll look over there."

"Let's meet at that fountain in ten minutes", the boy suggested.
Susan nodded. "Alright."

Ten minutes were over and Susan hadn't seen Edmund anywhere.

She stood at the fountain and waited for the boy to return. And when she finally saw his yellow-black scarf, someone in a green shirt walked next to him.

"Edmund!", she yelled.
Her brother looked up, suddenly looking scared. "What did you think?", she scolded. "Wait, I don't even want to know! It felt like when we lost Corin in Tashbaan!"

"Come on, out of all the things you could do, you chose to compare me with Corin?", Edmund pouted.

"I'm sorry for being curious, but who is Corin and what is Tashbaan?", the boy asked.

"Oh, Corin is an old friend of us", Susan said.
"Thank you for helping me."

"You're welcome, Phyllis!"

Edmund exchanged a strange glance between the two and giggled.

"Well, I, uhm, that's not, that's not my actual name", she said.

The boy smiled. "Yeah, the little girl shouted 'Susan', right?"

Susan nodded. "Yes."

"Well, it's nice to meet you. I'm Ash!"
