Broken Antler Fen lovers dance when they're feeling in love

Oh, good.  She'd only had a couple of encounters with bears up close, and none of them had ever gotten to a fight (thankfully).  She hated the thought of him being put in that situation, it must have been terrifying!  He didn't seem keen to dwell on it, though, and she was happy enough to let it go at that.  She'd definitely let everyone know to keep an eye out.

Maia smiled at his hesitation.  I can show you around a little.  The best secrets are still hidden, I think, but don't worry.  As long as you're with me the dragons won't bother you.  She gave him a playful nuzzle, then thought about his question.  Oh boy, about that....

We had a few newcomers join, they seem nice.  And we had a meeting, to kinda talk about, y'know... leader-y things.  She glanced over at him.  Wraen kinda asked me to be on the council?  She didn't mean for it to sound like a question, but it still felt weird to say.  It didn't matter how intrigued she was at the idea, or how much she actually wanted to try it; she'd never, in a million years, pictured herself a leader.  And she wanted to hear what he thought of it before she told him she'd said yes... because if he was upset, or hated the idea, she'd have to sort that out.
