The character payed attention to how the girl that seem to be the leader was walking saying “she came down a little hard on her heels, as if she didn’t walk in her bare feet much” this quote helps you picture how the person and might help picture what the girl was walking like.

The Unknown had driven them out though, leaving their city to burn. Cobyn's infant sister, Aleen. Aleen, had been lost that day, as had so many other Keddish people. The moon shone down from above, like a silver sun lighting his path. Creatures moved, fast and flitting through the trees as Cobyn walked, keeping a quick pace. He could hear the crunching of the leaves under his bare feet, and occasionally the moonlight would catch the hilt of the sword making it shine. Cobyn hurried. The armies would not clash for many days, having
Saturday morning Danny unexpectedly threw me for a loop when he announced that we would ride on horseback to Monteverde. Much to my displeasure and chagrin, I had to get on a horse. He gave us the option to take the bus that was also taking our luggage, but when I looked around and saw no one else taking the offer, I decided to not take the bus on the less traveled and let me tell you, it made all the difference.
