Nolan almost didn't notice how she had shifted closer to his side. He was throughly enjoying describing these places to her, especially since she seemed to be so enthralled by the descriptions that he honestly felt couldn't quite capture the beauty of the places he was trying to convey. It wasn't really until she spoke to offer that they might visit the oasis together one day that he finally noticed how much closer her pretty form was to his. It made a soft blush pull to his cheeks which was luckily hidden by the shadowy night that was starting to fall around them. He swallowed before he spoke again, hoping that he wouldn't stutter his words and grateful when they were delivered as he intended. His voice grew a bit more soft and hopeful, wondering if the warmth in his chest came across as strongly in his expression. "Yeah, that would be fun. I'd really enjoy getting to see it with you."
Was that too much to say to a wolf he had just met? It didn't feel like too much in the moment. He felt like he was constantly worrying that he might do something to disturb this peaceful moment, but so far things seemed to be going well. He didn't know how long she wanted to remain here and talk with him, but he didn't want to be the one to part ways even though he knew his mother would be wondering where he had gone off to by now. Speaking of... "She's okay, but she's a bit older and has been sick for a long time," he explained a bit solemnly. "I'm her only son so I try to help her when I can." He knew how badly his mother wanted him to still get out and experience life so that she wouldn't feel like she was holding him back, but it always felt like there would be plenty of time for that later. There were only so many days left before he lost her.
He gave a small shake of his head and pulled a warm smile back onto his muzzle, giving a small motion with his muzzle toward the sky. "There's lots of stars out now. I bet if we both wish on one of them that we'll get to explore and see the world then it will definitely come true."
