We meet again

At first when he heard the sound of someone running towards him Artems first reaction was to pull his sword and turn the horse to face the creature, but just as he grabbed the sword he recognised the woman from before. “Well well well. I didn’t know you missed me that badly already, though I won’t blame you” he said, looking down at her with a teasing smile. He looked behind her to see if whatever’d been chasing her still were, but there was nothing to see in the darkness. Then he turned to look at her once more, still smiling as if it was just her being silly “Do you intend on running all the way through the forest or do you want a ride?”. Though he didn’t show it, and certainly wasn’t going to admit it, he was glad to see her and to know that she hadn’t already been eaten by something.
