The Floodlands Hold Me, Love Me, Stay With Me [m?]

Her scent had great effect on him, she felt, but even after the events of the day his words surprised her. His admission of love was daunting to her, suddenly very real - she'd just taken a mate she didn't know, knowing her feelings for Heston and her admiration of Grayday.... What in the hell was she doing?

She did not say it back - in fact, she said nothing. He seemed distracted enough in his minstrations of her, and as that was good enough for the time being: she led him again into their dance, knowing it would do nothing to rise or lower her chances of pregnancy, but having emmence fun all the while. Eventually, after resting with him, she would kiss his cheek and bid him Adeiu - telling him to seek her out at the borders of Silver Creek just on the other side of the floodlands.
