There is a slight tension between the trio, she notices, and it disappoints her at the thought that she put it there. This thickness in the air, awkward and a bit uncomfortable, because of something she'd said. Darn it. Making friends seems harder these days since she's become older. But she hasn't given up completely; our tiny girl is more stubborn and courageous than that. A little tension would not scare her away. So she lifts her head and maintains her friendly smile at both the males, awaiting their responses to her idea.
Baylen had inquired where Seirath thought she might go, and Smidge grins and nods along with the taller man's answer. "She sounds like me, always wanting to meet others and to try and make friends." She gives a soft laugh and a small shake of her head, relating to the girl and at the same time realizing how such a big personality is leaving her father figure with a not so positive state of mind. Poor guy, she thinks as she smiles sympathetically at him. The man presses on, still, his restlessness growing by the passing minute. She nods in understanding of the split up, having already admitted to shorter legs. Couldn't help feeling slightly disappointed, but she gets it. Besides, he was right. She'd given him some ideas of places to check and she knew the land better, so while he does that she can be looking elsewhere and spreading word of his search. It makes sense, she can agree. True, too, that the sun will set soon, so she could see the reason for his urgency now. Although, anxious as he might be, Seirath still addresses them both to thank them and politely bid farewell and hopes that he will see or hear from them soon.
Smidgen gives the man the brightest smile she can muster. "Will do, Seirath. I'm happy to help. You'll find her soon, I bet." It sounds better to her to leave a note of optimism than to say something like 'good luck' or 'I hope you find her'. So she leaves it at that as he makes his depart.
It is then that she turns her attention back to the burro before her, noting the pensive look on his fuzzy face. She frowns, tilting her head at him, perhaps gearing up to ask, but he opens his mouth first. Oh! He wants to join her to see her home? Oh, this excites her, even if he says for a little while. Easy now, Smidge! Not too rambunctious. Maybe she hadn't totally ruined the chance of friendship with this new and interesting guy. "Of course!" She smiles, trying to contain her bubbliness a bit that would otherwise have her bouncing with joy. "Yes, come see it for yourself and see if it's something that suits you." She doesn't see why it wouldn't, but hey, to each his own. Tossing her head and bouncing into the direction of the Forest, she grins and tosses over her shoulder. "C'mon then, Baylen! I'll show you the way and we can look for Aleyaya as we go." Searching could be so much more fun with company, she ponders as she trots off through the grass.
