Take me somewhere new

If it was possibly for him to properly express himself, if he had any clue where to begin, he'd likely had a lot more to say. Steel wasn't necessarily hiding anything, but saying what he wanted to in much fewer words instead. If he could... he'd tell Esarosa that he was terrified of reuniting with her, because he was certain she would abandon him eventually. He would tell her about the aching loneliness in his chest, where his fondness for Fiori had sat for quite some time. And how he wondered if he'd ever see her again. He was tired of losing those that he cared for - and he wondered. honestly, if he should ever bother caring for anyone again.

But all he could get out was a meager 'me neither'. A simply two words to affirm her worries, and nothing more. A sigh hitched in his throat at his own frustrating silence; sometimes he swore he had more to say, but the words simply would not move past his own mind. But words were not always needed around her - Esarosa was eager to talk when he could not, and his words brought an excited reaction to her face, and instantly she started to go on about the things they could do together. A slight smile of his own would tug at the corners of his lips. Spending the winter with someone else sounded like a good idea. Even with the possibility of eventually losing Esarosa. The thought of companionship - even if temporary - was deeply soothing, even if it was not something he would admit. "Yeah," he'd echo, letting out a barely-audible chuckle in response to her exuberance.

He made no move to argue or resist when she told him to follow her. Steel was content to let her take the lead, and he moved to follow at her side as they moved through the night. Spending the night with a friend sounded much better than sleeping alone. His posture relaxed as they moved together, his eyes cast to the distance as he searched for whatever she wanted to show him.

It didn't take long for the scent of water to touch his nose, and then he saw something - maybe not the end goal of the night, but it was definitely.. neat, as she said. "They are," Steel would agree somberly, quietly. He'd seen them before, when he'd first arrived in Auster with his parents. "Is this what you wanted to show me?"
