Blacktail Deer Plateau tuviatchiak

maybe a fade here? :)

He understood.

And, oh dear, was it good to be understood. The easiest way to soften her up to company was to have that bond. Even if it was thin and small, something to grow with time.

Granted his next start struck her as odd until he spoke further. About how if she had not had left, she might not have been here. With him.

This place could be a good home, couldn't it?

Surrounded by good company and in a well shielded place.

I am glad you had left too then. To be here at the plateau now. Returned, warm and kind. Sheepish a little. She could not help it when her complimenting experience was not so high.
