Heron Lake Plateau Mistakes have been made, run

Rye looked off to the side after hearing Towhees 'shooting blanks' comment. His expression was almost one of guilt, he was very sure he didnt shoot a blank. Uncomfortably sure. Rye was quick to couple his confidence in that with Towhees' defensive edge. It was clear to him now but he was sure she couldn't conceive. His mind quieted, and he stayed quiet well past Towhee finishing talking. He didn't know what to say, he was supposed to let her confide in him. Who was he kidding, Towhee never would. In the short time hes' known her, Towhee was the strong type. Never one to back down, nor give away anything. Rye admired her strength but in a way felt bad as well, he was sure her strengths also were her weaknesses at times. Though nothing could be said for sure.

"Youre right," His voice quieted, staying soft and easy, "Towhee, I do hope you know that I'm here if you need me. I may not know you well but I do know you're a good person." A soft, reassuring smile was present on his lips and his eyes were light, and friendly. He truly wanted to get across to her, he was there. A quiet hum escaped from him, "You must have better things to get to. I'll see you around Towhee. Thank you for letting me know." And with that, he turned to leave.

We can keep going, or we can end it here. Up to you!
