Duck Lake Blind Date

She looked back at the water and for a moment to did Howl. But then he looked back at her, wanting to see her as she was rather then the blury image of them in the water. Though he could still see it in the corner of his eye, and he knew she would see him in the reflection as well.

It was true that Howl had left his family, but he tried to keep his company and for the most part didn't feel too lonely. When she shared that her family was gone, which brought the mood down some. "I'm sorry to hear that. I always try and keep people around so I'm not so alone. But sometimes you can't help feeling lonely even when your not alone."  Howl hoped she would understand what he ment by that.
