"Naida? What's wrong is everything alright?" He asks her as the gnome promptly vanished.
"Its jaa fine I found you. I actually found d you. I knew I would this must be fate." She said and he smiles and she noticed he was blushing. He really liked her and that was perfect for her plan to give him the potion
