Valerion closed the door and walked down the front steps and towards the path. "Well, here we are", he said with a smile. "Let's go". He walked off the path and to the right side, towards an opening between two bushes; Adrien followed him at a speedy pace.

"I'm glad that we're getting to walk outside now that the weather is so fine", Valerion said as he stepped over a boulder, "Soon it will be the season of snow, and walking in the woods won't be as pleasant for a long while".

Adrien lingered behind for a moment, then he ran to his side. "Soon?", he said, one eyebrow raised. "But it's only September".
