Firefly Glen Sayin' "who are you and where are you from?"

[table width=80%][tr][td]His whole family, safe for Burke and "his side of the family", was so affectionate. Well... Malice was. He now saw why she had never let him beyond the river when he had been young and rebellious. She wanted to protect him... and  now he had left her at home so close to the Blackfeather wolves. Still, she was a fierce lady and sure to survive anything - right? His sunny eyes grew wide at her nod. But she was as old as him, more or less! How had nobody ever gone out of their way to hug the sweet, beautiful and shy Kaori? He couldn't make sense of it.

He was glad his blunder of words had landed well. They felt the same then; not knowing what to say was all he had felt ever since meeting her. That, too, wasn't true; he had felt much more than what had resulted in the awkward muteness. He felt all warm inside; even with their embrace now history. It felt funny and he could not help but smile his brightest smile. N-No problem, eheh... He chuckled softly, averting his gaze as well.

His ears perked at her voice - head whipping toward her and nearly-golden eyes staring hopefully at her. When the jumbled bunch of words were finally decoded in his head, his cheeks grew even rosier and hotter and he had barely noticed Kaori moving forward to burry her face in his chest. His maw was left open, begging for him to make up his mind as to what he wanted to say, but nothing came out. Thank you... His voice was soft and unsure, but there was no denying the sincerity of his words. Handsome... even with his docked tail that displayed his recklessness for anyone to see? K-Kaori... Her name came out low. We - I - I mean... He stuttered. ...D-Don't leave... She had shown no signs of a desire to go farther with her journey, but he selfishly wanted to claim her presence for himself. He had no one besides her for now, and he was not about to let her wander alone in the night.[/tr][/td][/table]
