Blacktail Deer Plateau home, and my music's playing

Giving her pelt a stiff shake, and dislodging a mixture of snow and earth, she grinned after Adi as he dispatched the bird quickly, rushing towards her. Briefly, she remembered a similar incident months prior, and seeing Adi's grin as he congratulated her had her own widen. Quite abruptly, covered skill in bark and mud, she admitted, "I think I love you, Adi." The words came easily now, eyes bright. Perhaps it was the knowledge that he supported her as her brother hadn't, congratulated her on the decisions that would make her father antsy (at the least), or the sheer amount of trust she placed in him. She hadn't quite expected the knowledge that she loved him to come now, she covered in mud and bark and he in blood and feathers. But it did, all the same, and she felt that he should know.
