Run away together

"So where do we go from here?" you ask. "Can we just go back to the village and live there?"

"This spell is forbidden magic," Siora begins. "We can't go back there. The elders would probably take my magic away." Siora looks incredibly concerned at that statement, and you lean over to give her a big hug.

"That's fine, we have each other," you reassure her. The gesture seems to calm her down at least a little bit. You hold her there for a minute to reinforce your point before letting her go and taking a look at your surroundings. "But if not the village, where should we go?"

"We'll just have to make a life for ourselves," Siora replies. "We have enough magic between the two of us that I'm sure we'll be fine." You nod in agreement.

The two of you spend some time to simply take in your surroundings. This little forest clearing is serene, with birds chirping and sun shining. A light breeze picks up, rustling the trees slightly. A bunny even hops into the clearing for a moment and looks at the two of you before disappearing into the brush again.

A gust of wind blows through again, this time strong enough to chill your exposed form. You shiver slightly and tense up as you grab on to Siora's arm.

"Well we surely can't stay here," you mention, looking futilely into the sky for any sort of discernable landmark. "Where is 'here' anyway?" you finally ask her.

"This secluded grove has potent magical properties," Siora explains. "None of the other elves in the village knows about it. I've scouted this area for months and I can lead us out," she adds confidently before standing up and holding her hand out to you. "Shall we head off, then?"
