Duck Lake Snuck Out Like A Teen

It seemed as though if Heartha had been put in Howl's place when he encounter his past interests, that she would have made the same decision he did. He liked how they view things similarily, or at least shared some common values as far as family went. But as she went over he family again and this time in more detail, it made him feel bad. Both for her and because he could hardly compare the pain he felt not knowing about his family to her, who knew almost for sure that all of her family was gone.

There wasn't anything he could do about what had happened to her in the past, other then talk about how it could/would be better in the future. The past two mates she had either left or were no longer with her and all the children she had from them had had similar fates. He wanted to know that he would be there for her when ever he could. This brought him out of his previously, semi pouty mood to tell he "I'm sorry Heartha. Someone like you didn't and doesn't deserve anything like that happening to them."

He came out of the water which had been up to his ankles. He was standing face to face with her now, looking into her eyes as he said, "I want to be there for you however and whenever I can." He brushed his head against hers. "Ours will be better." he told her. There was no way that Howl would know the future of their children assuming they followed through with their plan, but he hoped for the best and wanted the best for Heartha more then for himself.
