Blacktail Deer Plateau checking up

Harlyn cocked her head slightly to the right - intrigued by his immediate comment.  So, he was a lover of the water?  She pondered this fact as he continued to explain what it was he was looking for.   Part of her (okay a lot of her, but she felt guilty for it!) was pleased to hear that he hadn't found anything yet that spoke to him in that way.  At the same time, it was a shame - he was such a friendly, considerate, and truly wonderful creature.  He deserved to find his place - his home, and a family.


As though he'd read her mind, the next thing out of Luke's mouth was a question about her future plans.  Harlyn's ears slipped backwards and she looked away for a brief moment, a guilty smile flashing across her muzzle.  She shut her eyes for a second before peeking back at him.  "Well... Can you keep a secret?" she asked, biting her lip.  She knew already the answer, but it felt good to ask for dexterity purposes at least.
