Big Salmon Lake to release this serendiptious design

It came as no surprise to him that Harlyn was swift in bringing up his offer about the stars. She had seemed genuinely intrigued about what he knew, though he was also aware that she was simply intrigued about him in general. That sort of thing sparked a certain interest in him as well, though he couldn't have said it was so much of an interest as an uncertainty. After all, she had travelled with him in spite of his own original plan of going alone and now... she had sought him out simply because she didn't want to be away from him. There was much about the world that he was evidently clueless of, but her interest in him was not one of those things. Simply how he felt about it, that was the real mystery.

"I suppose I'd let you," he answered slyly, "but we should find somewhere to rest our heads for the night first. Give the sky a little more time to show us what's there... and give me a little more time to acquaint myself with what is there." His ending remark was humorous even to him, because he had not once lied about what he did know. There were parts of it gone, pieces of those stories that he didn't think he could remember. He hoped it would come back to him, but there were plenty of things that hadn't come back to him over the years.

"What spot looks good to you? Don't pick somewhere that will give us bugs," he teased then.

The bugs probably weren't even out yet, anyway.
