Swiftcurrent Creek I'm gonna show you: loco, maniac, sick bitch, psychopath

Arric's offer was unexpected, but deeply appreciated nonetheless, and Reverie was struck for a moment by an abrupt and belated realization:
He wasn't questioning her. He didn't doubt her, didn't try to force his optimism on her. Instead he had accepted what she said as fact, and tried to accommodate it. Had anyone ever responded this way to her long-dead dream of being a healer? She wasn't sure. All she knew was that she felt a sudden rush of warmth for the Creek Beta. If he allowed it, she would step near to him for a friendly embrace, brief but full of all the warmth she felt for him in this moment. Thank you, She breathed, feeling a weight lift from her shoulders. Someone understood.
