Dragoncrest Cliffs a momentary lapse of happily

oh jeez. blix's stomach twists as artaax looks away, clearly embarrassed. what is with her lately and putting her foot in it every time she tries to talk to someone?

she opens her mouth to try to reassure him, but it seems her question had already done the trick. or at least got him to look less embarrassed about it. he doesn't say anything besides yes and she frowns. should she push him on it? but she doesn't, afraid of saying the wrong thing yet again. and when he gestures towards the stick she's already moving towards it with a "heck yeah," relieved if somewhat jilted the conversation's changing.
