Duskfire Glacier Autumn was soft

He had bounced up to her with every intention to engage her in play, but the wild excitement in his greeting contrasted sharply with the restrained, comparatively formal reception Samani gave him. He deflated a little. For some reason, he had expected the easy, casual camaraderie he found in Wayfarer's companionship. He hadn't realized Samani would be such a priss, although he probably should have expected it of a princess. 

"Hello, moon princess," he returned, swallowing heavily. His mouth has gone strangely dry. He didn't know what to say. "Whad'you think of the glacier?" he asked finally, after he could come up with nothing else. He hadn't run up to her expecting to have a civilized conversation, and he was wholly unprepared.
