Emberflame Ridge and they were roommates

it was hard to suppress the huge grin that threatened to overwhelm saarthal's features so she didn't; she allowed it to tug at the edges of her lips and crease the edges of her eyes as she positively beamed at mallaidh. saarthal didn't quite know why she was so..particularly happy about this invitation but maybe it was because she'd never really been part of something in her life other than that of her natal pack, and maybe it was because mallaidh was so strikingly beautiful and saarthal really, really wanted to know her better, and maybe it was also because the other girl has eyes like the depths of the sea at night, and was curiously pretty in a lowkey, softly-tugging-at-your-heartstrings kind of way that made the roman want to know more. 

"great!" saarthal allowed her signature lopsided smile to take over her lips. "i'm saarthal. pleasure to meet you, varinril-with-the-pretty-eyes and —" she turned to mallaidh, copper eyes bright with some mischievous mirth and bit her lip, "— adorable, leggy cutie who thought i was flirting with a tree."
