King Elk Forest something beautiful happened here

I will most likely not be posting with her every round, so feel free to skip unless something big and drastic happens.

The pair had trekked long and far to the furthest reaches of the Teekons and Aerlinn had begun to tire but she soldiered on, unwilling to doubt her Morwinyon.

They had traveled through many areas and to her, they were starting to blur together but she could see the change in him as he stepped into the King Elk.  A shiver runs down her spine as her compatriot turns stiff, but the anxiety quickly abates as she watches him shifting, becoming, spellbound by her compatriot's newfound confidence.  He turns to her with striking gaze and tells her at last that these woods would be home.

But his word choice shook her; "This will be our kingdom," he had said.  The girl had been under no impression that this would be their kingdom, it was Mato's — perhaps he was too overcome with excitement to consider his words.  Aerlinn knew not the significance she had to the man, but she did allow herself a moment to daydream of being at Mato's side.  It was not the rank that intrigued her (she had no desire to steal a high rank if he did not deem her worthy!) but rather just being by him; the thought filled her with warmth and it crept up to her cheeks, twitching her whiskers and ears.  It was not a feeling she had ever experienced but one that she was eager to learn.

"Let us explore," he beckons eagerly, and she wants nothing but to succumb to Mato and his wishes but she knows if she wants to make it back to the Vale she will have to take it slow. Go, she bids him, brushing up against him and leaning her weight into him fondly, I will not be far behind.
