Wapun Meadow I still get these simple thrills

She hadn't met Inkeri yet? Well... he guessed he couldn't blame her. Turmeric hardly knew who was in and out of his own pack these days, and even if she hadn't been in Kvarsheim very long, he'd have understood what might have kept her away from her packmates - even though she seemed like such a free and lovely girl. But hey, who was he to say anything? Maybe he already had the whole of Kvarsheim fooled (or at least, the number he'd met).

But she seemed suddenly nervous - or maybe flustered? - and though she didn't quite dance off leaving Turmeric and his snowdrift in her wake, her words were like a flurry.

Oh - ah - oh, oh yeah, okay! he stammered at first before his words shook with a nervous laugh. Had he overstepped himself? Shoot! Maybe he'd come off too strong, too quick. Yeah, sure, let's say a week - and hey, if we meet up then and decide we need longer, he shrugged, unsure, really, but unwilling to make her any more uncomfortable than she'd suddenly seemed to be, we can always go later, too, whenever works for you, and Lestan, he laughed again, don't worry, I'll be around.

And he would let her leave without any questions.

At least, none he would ask out loud.

I'm good to fade & wrap up here! Feel free to archive if you're good with that too <3 <3
