The Tangle the intro to purple rain is the closest i’ll come to having a boner

Mallaidh leads them along the river. She doesn’t know where she’s going first but it’s the best and easiest way to travel from one side of the territory to the next. Plus, whatever she shows Rose has to be good, especially if she wants her to stay when they migrate out here. She expects some kind of push back but when she agrees to it, her attention snaps to her friend in surprise.

“Oh, okay,” she says, then smiles, “good.”

She falls quiet afterward, focusing ahead. She’d really anticipated a whole spiel to convince her friend or some pretty pleases with sugar on top and now she… doesn’t really know what to say. Does it even matter what she shows her? It doesn’t matter because the clearing opens up after a moment and the twisty, cypress tree stands alone in the middle of the clearing, barricaded by other larger twisted trees. Escape between any of them would be difficult save for the bend in the river where no tree blocks the way.
