Emberwood you're my everything

This seems like a good point to fade. New thread? :)

Her heart pattered slightly within her chest when he looked at her, his green eyes sparkling in the warm winter sunshine. She had felt this only once before, but had refused herself the emotions that usually came with budding romance. Kaskara hadn't wanted spoil anything or ruin a friendship, and so had kept her emotions hidden away until they were no longer felt. It hadn't been the best idea she ever had, but it kept her from feeling too much pain.

"Thanks," she said softly, dipping her head in thanks, too. She felt shy, unsure of herself, but tried to hide it. Kieran couldn't like her back; he was still stuck in his past. Kaskara didn't fault him for it, but she knew that whatever feelings she may have for the warrior were not reciprocated and probably never would be. She grinned and looked toward the horizon, where the sun was beginning to descend. "We better get back to the group. C'mon." She chuckled and dashed off, wondering if he would follow her at that pace, or lumber more slowly behind her.
