Savannah tapped on the shoulder of the slightly shorter man in knight-like armor and rusty-brown hair. The man spun around quickly to face her then took a sigh of relief, “You scared me there for a bit.” Savannah just nodded she knew that feeling of being surprised and jumping in her skin because of it, even if she really isn’t scared of much. “What are you doing?” She asked simply.
The man laughed a bit nervously, “I seem to have misplaced my sword. I only remember leaving it in these Gardens. Ah! My names Armin Bartholomew, what’s yours?” Armin had his arm stretched out to her. Bartholomew? What kind of last name is that? Savannah took Armin’s hand and gave it a shake then let go, “My name is Savannah Knight. And I can help you find your sword; I have nothing else to do.” I’m also a bit bored, but he doesn’t need to know that. Savannah gave Armin a strained smile.
Armin then clapped his hands together and gave a great bow. Savannah stepped back a bit at his action. “Thank you so much! I promise to pay you for your time!” Savannah just waved her arms in a ‘no’ fashion. “You really don-” She was cut off when Armin came back up. “No really, please let me pay you if you find my sword.” Savannah just stood stock still and then with a tilt of her head she sighed then nodded.
Savannah waved away at Armin as she walked down one of the more worn out paths of the Crocus Gardens. Then she noticed she still had a newspaper from earlier and pulled it out from her coat. Looking around she saw a trash can and threw the paper in as there seemed like no recycle bins. Really now, such a popular Garden and no recycle bins. For shame. Savannah walked along the path with small click-clacks of her black open-toed flip-flops.
It was slightly dark out as clouds almost filled the sky. With some rustling her and there. Waite a minute, that doesn’t sound like a wind rustling that sounds like… A dog jumped from in front of Savannah cutting off her thoughts. And as she looked at the small creature she noticed its fluffy brown coat and floppy ears, but the thing that really caught her attention was a sword in its mouth.
Thinking it to most likely be Armin’s sword Savannah kneeled down and held out her hands to the dog. The dog took little steps to her and sniffed her hand. Savannah waited patiently for the dog to get comfortable before reaching out to the sword. But that was the mistake as she forgot to pet the creature via slowly putting her hand on the creature. And off was the dog to most likely the center of the Garden and Savannah was after the small dog.
