The Heartwood Similar vows

Heph hesitated, whirlwind romances were odd territory for her. She had had fleeting crushes and even a dalliance or two, but nothing lasting - nothing that she would call a romance properly. A half-hearted shrug. "Maybe? I've never felt love at first sight but I've also never gone into season so perhaps that will turn my head." A bit of conspiratorial laughter at that as she tilted her head down briefly into the motion. But she did consider the chance involved - not that chaos could be eliminated. After all asking Kukutux was not like eliminating the chance of the encounter only adding another layer of chance to it. "I don't know it doesn't seem like meeting someone by chance versus meeting someone through another person is all that different." After all whether it was that she happened to meet this wolf or Kukutux happened to meet the wolf first impressions were fleeting and that was not what Heph sought.

She forced herself to consider the question of Phox, leaning back a bit and shifting side to side. "I...think I could mesh well with Phox. He's certainly handsome enough." A barked out nervous laughter, an easier truth to say about the wolf with silver threaded through the ebony of his pelt and bright autumn eyes. He had scars on his face and a rather large one in the form of a missing limb but it had not sapped all the strength from his other three. "But he's also kind and responsible, reliable, has a good sense of humor, and seems to enjoy chasing after life." Heph focused on the traits that stood out to her, that she had, consciously or not, selected as important in a partner yet they flowed easily from her tongue.
