Bearclaw Valley sing hallelujah

Evien settled at the base of the stone, looking up at the woman and studying her expression. Blank, but it was not always that way. Leila might seem that way from time to time, but she actually had a rather wide range of expressions to show, other than just neutral or angry. He wondered what she might feel after he told her what he needed to. 

"Merrick asked me if I wanted to co-lead with you two." There was no need for beating around the bush. He wouldn't get verbal responses, anyway, and he didn't want to wear on her patience. "I said yes. I would love to, of course - it'd be an honor. But only if that's something you're okay with." Having Leila's approval would solidify it - if it wasn't something she wanted, he'd step down right away.
