Dust or Rust? PV Dale Kurt Finished

Alan thought it was a bit weird, that the boy was looking for something like rust. It was also just a weird bet someone would make, but he assumed that he should not judge him and was glad that he could be of help and lead the child to the only place he would image the rust to be. He was still curious how it actually got to the point of something being rusty... did the rust just grew on the object, like moss would grow on a tree? Whatever it was, it was getting far too cold and so he just smiled at the other child, when spoke to him.

"D-Don't worry a-about it... I- I am g-glad I could help!", he retorted lightly. "I'm s-sorry, if i-it isn't enough.. b-but I sh-should head back to the castle now! H-Hope I c-can see you around s-sometimes!", he said kindly, before he burrowed his hands into the pockets of his clothes and began to walk back to the castle. He was glad that he could help the boy on his quest, but still was curious about what the other child planned with it. If his friend did not belief him, couldn't he have just showed a spot with rust to his friend? Why would he need to gather it at all then? Alan lightly shook his head, getting rid of the thoughts, as he got closer to the castle. He would definitely need a hot cup of tea, once he was inside so that he could warm up again.
