The Sunspire I'm just sitting here remembering how your lips taste

Yes, you're quite lucky, Bernard said with jovial bravado, trying to ease his own nerves likely more than hers needed it. Me too. It'd be a shame for such good land to go to waste. Wraen suddenly perked up at something ahead of her, but this time it was more in awe than alarm. When he looked himself, he too was taken aback. This land was certainly stunning.

Before he knew it, she was loping down to the edge of a creek, and he trotted after her. But his eyes couldn't stop drifting back at the surrounding scenery. It sure is beautiful out here. I never thought I'd become a mountain man, but being out here makes me glad I am, Bernard thought aloud, then bringing his gaze back to Wraen. I suppose I have you to thank for that. If she hadn't approached him all those months ago when he was down at his worst, where would he have been today? Probably not here.
