Ocean's Breath Plateau Frontrunner

For all his awkwardness, and overwhelming indecision, she seemed to take him in stride. Perhaps even.. warmly. It was a way easier response than he had been expecting, that much was certain. Maybe she understood, or maybe he was just tired and looking for fewer ways to run into resistance, but Qilaq didn't seem opposed either. The decision would weigh heavily on him still.. although it was nice to not have to rush. He was terrible at that, anyway. "Okay.." he nodded. "Ah, thank you," he tacked on quickly, with a "You too" although he felt awkward about that too since he didn't want to hold her up if she had better things to do—which he didn't doubt she did, so he shut his mouth until she was gone for now.

With that said and done, he nudged back against Qilaq and sighed. Vaguely enough he was hungry, and as always, down for a cozy place to rest a while if he could help it. "Wanna find something to eat?" he asked quietly, though with a glint of motivation in his eyes. They could look around along the way.
