Blacktail Deer Plateau On the borderline

I dunno why I even bothered going on absence omg, I can't not post... at least with Dante

Dante nodded.  It didn't surprise him that Blue Willow had already offered, but it did trouble him that she had been shot down and avoided.  "If you think that is best," he said, though he wondered.  Pushing might drive her away, yes, but if things got dangerously far then a little forwardness might not be the worst thing.  It was a bit of a hypocritical thought on his part... he was taking the exact same stance, after all.  Giving her space and time to reach out first.

"Thanks, Blue.  For listening. And for everything you do."  True he hadn't shared much, but he appreciated that she would be willing to bear it should he wish to in the future.  Sometimes it wasn't the act, but the knowledge that the support was there that was enough.
