Silver Creek Friends come and go but for once i wish they'd stay

the girl mentioned that she might have been able to help. at this, harrison furrowed his brow curiously and wondered what it was exactly that would lead her to know where there might be hot springs in the wilds. he wondered just how far she might have trekked out on her own, and then realized that she might have done so without the protection of a man from rosings. tsk tsk tsk, lilah... such things were not to be done by women. still, he wasn't going to turn her down if she had really located a good place to chase away the nasty chill that had settled into the very marrow of his bones.

when she went on further to say that plants would grow closer to the hot springs, he canted his head to the side and cast a thoughtful frown at the girl. “well, how close would they be? how far away from the springs are we gonna have to get before we see plants growing?” he asked her, knowing nothing about plant life or how that ecosystem seemed to work. the more that they chatted, the more he had started to realize that they would both be searching – she hadn't found them already – and there was a chance that there was nothing to find. still, if there was... god would it be worth it.
