Neverwinter Forest and the wind, whispering soft lullabies

A familiar howl called for him. Hua was back -- and there went the nervous twist of his gut again. He didn't feel quite as bad as their previous meeting -- at least to start -- but it would probably settle in soon enough. He trotted to go meet her quickly, making sure he didn't look like a mess or anything on the way, but he doubted that'd change the outcome any. Guess it was time.

He was absolutely avoiding the issue right to start though, grinning as he came over to her, You were awesome yesterday. Okay, even if somehow by the end of the thread she wasn't, the first part had definitely impressed him. He still wasn't going to initiate their conversation too affectionately for similar reasons as before, but at least it was less awkward on his side of things this time around, or as far. He'd have preferred otherwise, but again, he didn't want her to think he was awful for doing so if she hated him at the end of it. Now if she wanted to, ok, he'd totally return whatever she did, because duh.
