Aiden looked up at him from the stream and listened to his rant. It was slightly relieving to know that the man wasn't as completely crazy as he had been back in the village. When he came to question her she looked back at the water and into her reflection.

"On the contrary, I am nothing like you, no one is like me. I'm a case that has either rarely happened, or has never happened before. Since you are someone I do not know, then I shall go no further into my history."

Aiden began to pet Shinta gently as he rubbed against her cheek in a loving manner. She brought her body to face the man so she would not have to fear him literally doing something behind her back.

After a few minutes of sitting there in silence, Aiden's stomach growled. She laughed softly and began to dig into her bag for some food. She pulled out a little roll of bread and began to break it in half for her and Shinta.

"I am taking it since you wasted my can of tuna, you don't eat foods such as this."

She held up the roll for a moment and then took a bite of it while Shinta struggled to get the whole wad of bread into his mouth. Aiden tried not to laugh at the silly little snake as he tried to feed himself.
