Fishing in the Dark

His mind continued to drift back to the past, the time they had spent together and each memory brought a warm smile to his face. What would he have ever done without her being there? The reason he had decided to quit his searching and come to Lirim was because he had missed her. She had found Lirim before finding him and he didn't feel it was right to ask her to leave to come with him, so he joined Lirim to be with her. Now that he was here he didn't want to leave and had decided to no longer search for a land for his family. Besides even if he had, he would have to fight the elders to get them to stay. He had even been warned by his mother about that fact before he had left.

He could feel her heart and he wondered how his hammering heart had felt. He gazed back into her eyes, his own softening. He could get lost in her green eyes, they were so beautiful that he felt he would never get tired looking into them. His ears flicked as she spoke his interest perking at the word secret. He had never heard her speak that word before. As far as he knew Star had always been open to telling him everything and he had been the same with her although the discussion of feelings he can't ever remember being brought up before. He lowered his head down her neck and let his chin rest on her shoulder, his left ear just about the height of her skull.

Why would she think he would be freaked out? It even made him more curious about what she had to say. He had never freaked out before with what she told him, so why would he now. Red eyes looked to her front paws for a moment.

"I won't freak out. What's your secret?" he asked.
