Jade Fern Grove Stay Gold

Tauris seemed to soften, even thanked her, and Reverie found herself smiling with helpless delight. Already she wanted to see her again! Maybe she would take her to Bjarna, to Kvarsheim — no, no, it was too soon for that. Reverie told herself to focus, to live in the present. And at present Tauris was speaking of mule deer.
Oh! I've seen deer - I usually avoid them, but they're around, She didn't know much about hunting deer, but she wouldn't tell Tauris that. It couldn't be too different from hunting other hoofed creatures, could it? Suddenly Reverie wished Lestan were here. He knew something of the herds in the valley, whereas she knew... nothing. She almost suggested that they head toward the meadow, but thought better of it; she would let Tauris take the lead in this. Reverie felt that the other girl would be more comfortable if she was in control.
