Swiftcurrent Creek little miss sunshine

He gave a brief nod when her answer was received, and then began to think of other things. It was good that they were mending things now - with Proudheart here, there were possibilities opened to the man that previously where not there. Before her, he thought of this place as a simple family, but with no ultimate goal in mind. Now, there was a future for him. He could build a family here - with Fox permitting - although he did not broach the subject with her here and now. There was more work to be done before he dared to ask her of something so monumental.

Njal was caught by her second statement and turned to regard her - without challenge, of course. With his eyes trailing across the girl's forehead and neck, to rest on her shoulder. Anywhere but the eyes, so as not to accidentally challenge her.

“It has made me think less of you, but I believe you can redeem yourself.”
"Thank you," He responded swiftly, his voice a low rumble.
"I will serve you in whichever way you ask. As will Tuwawi. We are loyal to you and Swiftcurrent."

With that stated, Njal had nothing more to add. He considered lingering in her company - but at the same time, he was unsure if Fox would want him to. Without further discussion the man got to his feet and began to leave her to her basking; giving a small nod of appreciation and farewell as he departed. Off to do another sweep of the borders.
