Emberflame Ridge and they were roommates

yeah. if saarthal wasn't smitten before, she definitely was now. and don't forget, extremely amused. or well, perhaps not smitten...entranced? endeared? something like that. mallaidh was even blushing. god, she's adorable. "god, you're adorable," she muttered to herself almost inaudibly. okay, so, she hadn't meant to let that slip (well, they probably didn't hear her, anyway); that was only meant to be said in her head, but well...now that it was out there... saarthal smiled softly, a roguish gleam in her eye, "you're really cute, you know that?"

but, not wanting to embarrass mallaidh, saarthal decided not to press the issue any longer though she'd be lying if the lingering half-smile wasn't because of the hilarity that had just occured. "sounds like a plan," saarthal squinted at the mountains. hmm. she wasn't really in the mood for a hike...but well, it could be fun! it'd definitely be fun! "great! maybe i can find more trees to flirt with on the other side."
