...It was getting late. She knows this. Skies were painted an orange-red. She wanted to make sure her sons got home safely before she would go back out again.

Jane was vague on the details when her boys asked where she was heading. The only thing she told them was that she was going to one of her 'favorite' spots. When she left she tried not to choke...

The brown female ambled up to a tree. She sat up against it. Her head faced towards the hills.

Such beautiful scenery. Watching the sunset was one of her favorite past times. She loved how the orange-red colors would tint the environment along with it. One things for sure is a sight to never grow bored of. And yet, it makes her feel down watching the sunset alone...

Someone was once willing to watch sunsets with her. But that individual broke the status they once had with each other months back. Jane's heart would ache every time she thinks of him.

Why... did he want to end their friendship? Was it something she did wrong that led to the outcome? Jane would often find herself replaying the memory like a record. Recollecting those words that left her with a wounded heart since then...

Tears escaped from her eyes running past her cheeks. She'd sniffled and hic. "Why..." she uttered with a shakey voice. Jane hunched her body, arms crossed resting on her legs with her head tucked in between. It wasn't long before she became a sobbing mess. Trying to move on hasn't been easy for her. She's been trying so hard to do everything in her power to forget about him. Yet, the thought of him would always come back. Always.

Everything they used to do together, especially on a regular basis, left her in unbearable agony...

"Why so sad?"

Jane's ears perked at the sound of an unfamiliar voice that was disturbingly close. When she raised her head she practically tried to shuffle back when she saw a yellow Wyngro right in front of her. Nearly giving her a bit of a fright from his sudden appearance. Where did he even come from?

The yellow male crouched to maintain eye level. "Something the matter?" he asks of her. "I just happened to be flying by when I heard weeping. When I looked down, I saw a gro up against a tree, bawling her eyes out."

"Well, I wouldn't exactly say you were bawling," He scratched the back of his head, "after all I only saw what I can see from above."

He briefly scuffed his goatee, " So, what's the matter? Something troubling you? I'm willing to help however I can. Ain't doin' anything important at the moment."

Jane couldn't find a way to respond to him. She stood there with a tearful face. Additionally she's baffled that this stranger insists on wanting to help her. He doesn't even know her and she doesn't know him. It doesn't make sense to her why would a random stranger like him would suddenly care if something is troubling her or not. Albeit, she can't deny that nothing has been bothering her.

She didn't want to drag on the silence for too long or keep him waiting. However, she can't find the words to reply to his question. Too despondent to think of anything to say.

"Hey" The male breaks the silence, "It's alright. I know we just met. Understandable that you don't want to tell me what's going on. Could be going through something personal. I get it. Normally I can't stand seeing someone distressed. I have three sisters. Any time I see them in clear pain I never sit around and ignore them. I get up and try to do what I can to make them feel better."

The yellow male rubbed the back of his head "Heh... Come to think of it, I make it seem as if it's my job to help cheer someone up."

Jane remained speechless. But not to say she didn't enjoy listening to this stranger telling her that he has siblings of his own and how he attempts to get them out of a sorrowful mood. A dedicated loving brother is what pops up in her mind by listening to him.

The male averted his head to gaze at the sunset between the hills. The sun was getting lower by the minute. "Hm. It's going to get dark soon" he spoke to Jane without looking back at her.

He stood up and stretched himself out. He then offered his hand to her.

"Come with me."

"Huh?" Jane was taken by surprise at his sudden gesture.

"I know we just met. But I don't want to leave you all alone out here drowning in your sorrow. Plus, it's getting dark soon. It's your choice whether you want to trust me or not. But I want to help take off whatever's troubling you. Would you like to come with me? I promise I'll take you home afterwards."

Hesitant by his offer, Jane thought it over for a brief moment.

Why not? Her boys are home and she already made something for them to eat for dinner since she didn't specify how long she was going to be out.

Jane slowly took the yellow male's hand. He gently pulled her up and gave a soft welcoming grin.

"My name is Casper by the way."
