Duskfire Glacier I've got this energy beneath my feet

Tuulu was happy with his brother's answer. It was nice to know Isso thought him to be a valuable member. His brother's approval was very important to him. Thank you, he said, dipping his head once. 

To his brother's question, Tuulu smiled. Yes. This is my home now. Lane flashed in his mind; he had been serious about courting her, which meant he was serious about staying. And there was still much to learn from his older sibling.

I asked Lane if I could court her, he said after a moment. She requested I wait until after the funeral to ask her again, but she did not say no. She had seemed as though she wanted to accept, but he certainly wouldn't push her into anything, especially with so much already going on. I hope this does not upset you. His tone was lower, hesitant. He would hate to be torn between his budding but strong feelings for Lane and his loyalty to his brother.
