Wapun Meadow A Chance Meeting

"Hm," Eshe hummed, considering what Louis said. She didn't think he was tricking her—he seemed too friendly to be capable of such motives—and she didn't have reason to distrust him. "Maybe I will," she said with a smile, hoping she didn't come off as dismissive; she wondered what they tasted like. But she didn't press. Talking and thinking about eating frogs made her feel a little queasy.

The day was starting to get away from them, and she realized this with a frown. "I-I’m very sorry to cut our conversation short," she said, clearing her throat and feeling a bit awkward. She was always bad at ending conversations. But, there was work she needed to do—the lavender wasn’t going to pick itself! "I've got some work I need to do, and I want to get back to my den before sundown." Hopefully, he'd understand.
