Whitefish River 'You know that thing you just did? Don't do that'

She wasn't surprised that Evergreen had agreed to let Emrik stay, knowing already the extent of his kindness, and she was grateful that Ira had agreed, as well. She already knew he would more than pull his weight while he was here. She offered Emrik a small smile before lifting her head to invite him to follow her. Thank you, she said to the leaders, dipping her her head as she spoke. Then she turned and, assuming Emrik was following, began to walk towards her favorite spot by the river so that they could talk. His presence here brought up a lot of confusing feelings and thoughts, but most of all she dreaded telling him what all she had done to land herself in this position.
