While not completely engrossed in his thoughts, it would be fair to say that once Balsam was sure he wasn't being followed he let himself slip into autopilot. It was hard not to when you had the most beautiful woman in the world on your mind.
Velvette. Just thinking her name made his heart sing and then ache as the weight of his predicament crashed over him once more. He was fairly certain she didn't think he was good enough. None of his attempts to gain her affection had been well received. Many, in fact, had been ignored completely. He hinted and hinted, gifted and gifted, and yet she wouldn't so much as look at him twice. It broke his heart.
That was going to change, though. He was going to get her the best trophy Boreas had to offer. No fox pelts or wolf ears would do, no. He'd get the tail of a giant. The tallest giant. And then she'd have to look at him. She'd want to look at him. More importantly, she'd want to ask him out.
Balsam sighed, his expression dreamy, and he picked up the pace as he slunk from shadow to shadow. He just needed to make it through the night without getting caught and he'd be golden.
