Duck Lake every night I'll be with you

Seeing the red burst through the white of her cheek brought him great satisfaction that he couldn't hide as his smile grew enormously. Her response was so adorable and sweet. Knowing that someone that had been through so much hardship could still experience such joy, and for him to have brought that to her, brought him a level of comfort. 

Nervously she returned the sentiment complementing him aswell. It was always nice to hear, despite how often he had heard it in the past. Smile still vibrant on his face he replied "It's truly an honor to have received your gaze and be rewarded with such a judgment" unable to resist an opportunity to flatter.

His glance moved to the water. To where he had been long ago. In a more genuine tone, he uttered "Do not be disheartened. Love has no time limit. If you wish for it... You'll find it... It might even find you without prompt" He thought back to Heartha, similarly "past her prime" yet still full of life and so capable of caring. She may have been older than Star was now, something Howl didn't even get a chance to care about back then. It hasn't mattered.
