Moonsong Glacier the place I want to be is somewhere in your heart

His touch drew a shaky breath as she anticipated an answer. What came, at first, was formal and appeared well-practiced. Perhaps, he said the same to all who joined Morningsong - not that it would have surprised her. Dutch had always been a kind man with an even kinder heart. 

What was said next, however, had her confused. He wanted more...than kin? What was there that would mean more than kin to him? Her mind raced, her bewilderment clear in wrinkle of her brow. Certainly, she valued him as she would family. Never before had she met someone that understood her more than her sisters.

She thought of the time she had kissed him. It had nothing more than a soft touch of goodbye - hadn't it? Besides, he had not mentioned it after besides in song...

Ulloriaq came to the conclusion that he was, perhaps, more of a stranger than she had thought. There was so much that she did not know, and did not know how to know.

"What... what do you mean by that?" she spoke after a long moment of pause. Where her words had flown freely, now were catching in her throat.
