He picked up the pace and caught up to her, still afraid of a giant bear suddenly bolting at him from behind the trees. What Corona didn't tell him was that, while there really was a bear, it had no interest in them. It had already eaten, it had no cubs to protect, and they were not even down-wind of it. Rae would easily notice him acting strange if she looked at him, though.
Paul bumped into her when she stopped and fell backwards. Apparently, he wasn't paying attention. They were far from where the bear was, now, but he was too pre-occupied with the thoughts of being eaten to realize this.
With quick reflexes, Rae reached out and grabbed both of Paul's arms. She held fast to keep him from falling over. "So...is it the school?" She asked.
"U-um.. yeah, it is." He blinked at her when he realized that she stopped him from falling over. "Er.. thanks. I guess I wasn't watching where I was going.. eheh." He didn't actually stand up himself until Corona reminded him that she was still holding him up.
Rae nodded, let go of him and stepped away. She turned back around and started walking again. "I'm guessing we'll be there in about two hours if we keep up a good pace."
"Do you think people noticed we were gone?" He ran to catch up next to her. "Is it normal for students to disappear for over a day? I mean.. you wandered from a group right?" The last thing he needed was to get on the teachers' bad side, mostly because of how Corona does and the messes he sometimes got Paul into.
"What was the group doing up there any ways? And why did you wander? Do you think they sent a search party after you?" What was up with all the questions? Why is he asking so many questions!? Does he never SHUT UP!?
