"I don't think she really knows where the fun places are. All she shows me is dark places full of things that make me trip." She glanced down for a moment, a little upset at leaving her friend, but then the excitement of a new path to follow made her cheer up immediately. "So can you show me?"

*Julian's smile widened and he bent down next to her so they were at eye level.*
"But of course... Perhaps we should start with something..."
*He flicked his wrist in a fluid motion and an eerie green ball of light appeared floating between them.*
"...to keep you from tripping."
*He lifted his brow in stern warning.*
"Don't touch it, or you will let the darkness take you. And then I'm afraid that I would be a poor host indeed."

She looked at the glowing ball with wide eyes, her mouth falling open slightly. "Is it a fairy?"

Clara's eyes widened when Julian made the ball of light appear. This was DEFINITELY not right.

*Julian's lips twisted cruelly.*
"Something like that."
*He stood and started forward again, the light stayed next to her at the lower level.*
"Are you coming?"

"Don't do it, Red!" she cried.

"I like fairies," She said with a faint smile. "Of course I'm coming!"

*Julian grinned and picked up his pace as he walked deeper into the shadows. The girl would have to hurry to keep up.*
"This way...don't fall behind..."

She scurried after him hastily, her little shoes scuffing against the floor.
"You're sure I won't trip?"

Clara waited until they were a little ways away and plunged into the shadows after them, not wanting Little Red to get hurt because of her.

*Julian laughed lightly.*
"I cannot prevent it if you are destined to, I merely offer to minimize the probability. So what is it that you would like to see most in these dark cellars?"

"I'm not sure," she answered, a little out of breath from walking so fast. "Whatever's the most interesting."

*Julian's laugh danced into the darkness.*
"How can I possibly know what would interest you? I have never been a little girl."
*He turned his face back to her with a wolfish grin, eerily illuminated by the green light.*
"I only know that which is of interest to me."

Clara suppressed a gasp. What interested him, then? She hoped he hadn't meant anything sinister by that.

*Julian suppressed the urge to turn his malicious grin on their unexpected guest. He just smiled and turned back to the path ahead, picking up the pace.*
Don't trip little straggler...
