King Elk Forest Love is the prize

The boy pulled away and admitted to her that it had been a tough week, but didn't go further into the topic. "Okay," she said. She guessed he didn't want to share, and she was fine with it -- however much she wanted to know about his troubles. She trailed him out of the water to the bank, standing a ways away to shake her pelt so she wouldn't shower him with unneeded droplets. Water flew everywhere, and when she was done, she was still dripping with water.

She padded closer to Casmir, waiting for him to do something... anything. She was too worn out to decide what to do next, and she just wanted to follow his lead at the moment. Perhaps that was selfish of her, for he was probably even more hurt that she was after all this.
