King Elk Forest bittersweet

archer raised an eyebrow ever so slghtly when she spoke, telling him that he reminded her of an old friend caleld esaro. a small smile made its way to his lips at her words, and he adopted a distant look in his eyes as he recalled fonder memories of his past, before forcing himself back into the present world. "i'm honoured," he said, softly, casting his aqua gaze on her, "i'm also sorry," he murmured after a second thought, "he sounds like a great dude." archer might not have known this esaro personally, but he knew what it felt to lost someone that you cared about, or admired, and thus, felt for her.
"yeah, i'm glad too," archer murmured thoughtfully, though his eyes wandered and his lips thinned briefly into a line. there were troubling thoughts swimming through his head and try as he may, they simply would not go away. he exhaled softly, and pulled himself back to the present, reluctant to deal with his demons when he had such nice company.
"i'm proud of you," archer said, smiling at her, because while he might not know her personally, he was still proud that she managed to overcome the various tragedies and difficulties that life threw her way and still survive pretty much normally, if not better than normal wolves, such as himself.
but when she winked, it took even him by surprise, and a crooked smile tugged at the edge of his lips as a warm laugh rumbled from his chest. "will you?" he grinned, "well," he pretended to consider the offer for a moment before smirking, "sounds like a good plan to me."
