Duck Lake Through the boughs of the garden

A tiny frown marred his sweet features, and she sighed. He clearly didn't know what he wanted. Little lost soul that he was.

She could understand that. She preferred forests herself, but the mountain wasn't so bad it had it's own forest amongst the boughs and hillocks of the place. There seemed to be something holding him here, but what she didn't know.

Heart fell like leaden stone and tears sprang to her eyes. She wanted to hug him. Pull him so tightly against her, he had nothing to do but accept all the the love she had to give, but she couldn't.

So she nodded, and began to weave a paw through the dirt. Then let me show you what to do if you should want to find me.

She would spend as much time as he needed showing him where both Brechliant and Moonglow were. Offering him the name of Maia if he was there rather than the mountain. And Kukutux.

And she would continue to speak until she was hoarse on what he needed to know and how to find her. Making sure to remind him repeatedly so that he not forget.
