Stone Circle Where do we go from here?

Nikai didn't notice Steady's approach, so absorbed was he in the stranger he was meeting. She took off with an 'okay', which he knew to mean 'yes'; Nikai smiled broadly at her acceptance of his tagging along as he followed her, yet unaware of how uncomfortable she was and excited to be meeting her. He started in a slow trot first, but noticed she was going quite fast and broke into a gallop quickly.

When he found it hard to keep up, he called out, "Not so fast walking!" hoping that she would realise she was losing him and slow down her pace before she was completely out of sight.
