Nova Peak Self-made confession

Kas wanted to laugh, to declare that yes, he was an idiot! How could he not see that she meant him, not someone else? While her heart soared in her chest at the thought of loving him, of being near him every day, she also felt a little foolish. Why couldn't she just lay it out there, let him see what she meant? The warrior watched him carefully, sizing him up, wondering if he would ever realize that she loved him? Perhaps not.

His next words, however, nearly stopped her heart. Her stomach clenched with anticipation, and though she was nervous and scared, the smile that spread across her muzzle revealed her true thoughts. "I don't think you'd be getting between anything." Her voiced trailed away and she shook her head, trying to get her thoughts back on track. "You see, the guy I have my eye on is, well...you." She giggled softly, wondering what this ecstatic, giddy feeling was rushing over her. "And I would be honored to, um, move on with you." What was she even saying? Was that what you said to someone you loved? That you'd "move on" with them?! Now she wanted to curl up into herself and forget she even existed. But she couldn't do that, not now that her feelings were out in the open.
