Torin moved towards the budding forest, for probably the first time since leaving the pack lands that he felt some amount of happiness. This was a place he'd never been before and he slowed slightly, swiveling his head to look at Derecho. "Have you been here before?" He asked as they moved under the pink foliage, the sounds of the river they'd been following seemed more muted her than before, but maybe that was just him. He stopped for a moment, allowing himself time to drink in the site and scents of the strange forest around him. The trees were a mixture of promising new buds and small young flowers; a soft pink, the canopy shielding them from the semi-harsh rays of the early spring sun. It was truly beautiful. "Talk" Think |

He hadn't admitted it yet, but this she had be dreading. She had become so comfortable within Lirim and had enjoyed the time she got to spend with Torin, that she honestly didn't want to make this trip. She knew if she she was reunited with her mother it would be hard to tear herself away because of all the time she had lost with her mother. Though she knew she wouldn't want to leave Torin either so she had been fighting with herself mentally. She hadn't talked to anyone about this because she still wasn't sure what all these feelings and this pull towards Torin was. Something about him and how easy it was to talk to him. She just clicked with him and she felt she had some understanding of him. Even now as they traveled she struggled mentally with everything. She fallowed beside him into lands she hadn't traveled before. She had sensed his more upbeat vibe upon entering the territory, which gave her a much needed distraction from her own mind. Silver-blue eyes began to look around, pay more attention to their surroundings. It was spring and everything was in bloom and when her eyes fell upon the pink trees her eyes brightened. Then his he spoke and her bright eyes glanced to him before she smiled. "No I'm afraid I havn't been here before, but it sure is beautiful," she replied as he stopped. She stopped as well soaking in the sights, sounds, and the smells as he did. She felt her mood lighten incredibly. "Talk" Think |

Torin found his gaze sliding from the canopy above to his companion beside him. The whole trip he'd been hardening himself, doing his best to ignore the pained feeling in his chest. It was dumb and he couldn't really justify the feeling; he knew going in that Derecho's stay in Lirim was temporary but as he found himself watch her he couldn't help the deep sadness that overtook him. "Beautiful." He muttered to himself, parroting her though his gaze had not returned to the canopy. He wanted nothing more than to stop time here, he knew it wouldn't be long now. Torin sighed and closed his eyes, he dropped his head and when he opened his eyes again he was staring at his paws. "Do you want to rest here for a bit, maybe see if we can't catch a rabbit or two?" He asked, his tone was even and his face was a mask of impassivity but deep down he was praying she'd let him keep her by his side for even just a bit longer. "Talk" Think |

Silver-blue eyes found his gaze and for a moment she let herself get lost in it. She too was feeling a constant ache in her chest, she had been for the past month as this time grew closer. Her original plan was to go back home and stay, but Lirim felt Like home as well as being around Torin. It was strange that she had felt that way. Before she had met Torin she had plans to be a roaming wolf even if she ever made it back to Abaven, now here she was with the leader of Lirim for a guide. She felt rotten every time she thought of the upcoming departure from her new friends and family. She just didn’t get why, or why she loved spending time with Torin so much. She looked forward to seeing him even if it may just be a passing glance as he headed out to patrol.
She looked back up to the canopy to keep herself from staring, not wanting to sour this time with him. She hadn’t realized he was still looking at her, even when he parroted her. When he spoke again her eyes fell back to his form again seeing his gaze focused on his paws. She was getting a sense that he too was upset by something. Surely it wasn’t over her leaving? Though she may find out a bit later when she shared her final desicion. She smiled at his offer and moved towards him lightly bumping his shoulder with her nose. She hated seeing him down in the dumps.
“Of course we can, I love that idea,” she said with a smile looking to his face.

He couldn't help it, something about her gently nudging him made him feel almost dizzy, she was trying to cheer him up and he couldn't help but summon a small smile, even if he was still plagued with his feelings on her inevitable departure. She accepted his proposal and the smile grew a bit wider. He met her gaze and before he could stop himself, gently nosed at her cheek fur. Torin pulled back suddenly, trying to cover his embarrassment as he spoke, suddenly gazing away from her as if looking for something else. "Let's see what we can find for food then, eh?" He cast her a quick sidelong glance before taking a few deliberate steps in towards the trees. He noted one of the trees with a particularly well-worn patch of grass between its roots, clearly well-loved by someone. "Why don't you rest there and I'll see what I can find?" In truth he would have gladly accepted her company on a hunt but he was doing his best to pretend he hadn't just embarrassed himself in front of her and some part of him felt it might be helpful to have a moment or two to think to himself.

The small smile from him made the butterflies flutter within her. To be able to cheer him up so easily was such a wonderful feeling that she always wanted to feel it. His smile grew wider at her accepting the offer making her tail gently wag some more. He looked to her and their eyes locked. Briefly she let herself get lost in those handsome blue and yellow eyes. The duel color of his eyes were truly amazing in her mind. Then he gently nosed her cheek, the soft touch making her skin tingle and grow hot with the emotions swirling within her. Then he suddenly pulled away just as her smile grew wider from the touch, her eyes quickly looking to him as he looked away. She fallowed him as he moved forward, letting him take the lead, the butterflies returning briefly. Her gaze looked to him when he voiced his suggestion, mentally she was disappointed even though she still felt happy. She wanted to be with him, but she didn't want to speak out against his suggestion. She was fearful it may ruin the moment of happiness. She then nodded quietly agreeing to his suggestion even though her desire was to go with him, to stay by his side. "Alright, but don't leave me alone here all day," she said. Where did those words come from? She was unsure, but she was slowly starting to voice her feelings, without really knowing what those feelings were. Moving past him he moved over to sit at the base of the tree to wait for his return. "Talk" Think |
