His words affected her greatly.
It showed in the way her eyes rippled with an emotion she couldn't quite place--not yet. In the way she couldn't look away from him. It showed in her cheeks, as if blooming roses kissed them. It showed in the way her lips curled softly, in the way her chest rose and fell, as if the wind itself was the only reason she still breathed.
"Solharr, I..." Voice wavering, words failed her. How...ironic. Almost poetic. For someone who could talk so much, yet in this moment, couldn't form the words. The words she wanted to say to him stayed trapped next to that bottle she kept in her heart.
Head shaking, she laughed softly to herself. "I am indeed in trouble." Her face turned upwards, meeting the sky with eyes closed as she listened for a moment. It caressed her, fur swaying ever so gently, guiding her to return to him again. To try once more.
The dam broke and she spilled forth before him.
"You have given me so much, maybe much more than you might realize. A home. I'd also like to think a...friend. In you, Solharr." Her smile met her eyes then. "I have been floating for so long, lost at sea. Lost in so many ways." A pause. A breath. Her words rang genuine, echoing her thoughts of him when they first met. "But there you were--a lighthouse through the mist. Guiding me home, to this place. I just...wanted to say thank you. From the bottom of my heart."
Left unsaid were the words she wished to speak, but as the winds blew a little harder, it was a reminder that patience was needed here. She would soon visit the altar when it is ready, to gift her token, and have a rather long chat.
She finally stood, a nod to him, the pelt now adorning her neck. "Thank you for this morning. And, Solharr? Find me whenever your thoughts seem too heavy to bear alone. If they are of her, if they are of your duties, or if all you need is presence in the quiet--it is all the same to me."
Fleur turned then, her tail waving gently as her form retreated, fading into the mist.

Exit. I blame Callum Scott's "Lighthouse" for this dramatic post.
