The Heartwood All the debts I owe

Oh, goodness, please don't apologize! I never mind waiting. ^^ I am only appreciative to write with you.

The girl met him with a smile that faded swiftly from her features. He wondered, for a moment, if she might have believed he was a familiar face. A single russet ear swiveled on his head apologetically. His snout dipped down toward the earth. Perhaps, he should not have been so forward in his greeting. She appeared to be alone, after all. Foxfur did not wish to make her feel unsafe.

Keeping a short distance between them, the warrior offered her a gentle smile in response to her statement. Cold, indeed, but he did not mind so much.

It is that, his tired voice sounded with an air of warmth. I was feeling a bit tired, is all. Thought it might bring some life to these bones of mine. The tired search of his brown eyes moved across her frame and noted the curious markings that adorned her figure. She was made of stone and snow and her eyes were lovely.

How are you doing today, miss?
