Eeeeels, honey

Somehow, despite his stumbling and tripping over himself, he still managed to get her to laugh and that felt like the biggest victory of all. He loved the way she laughed and it made his lopsided smile get even bigger. When she agreed that now was a good time he quickly nudged aside what he was trying to arrange and went to follow her out of the room, falling into step beside her easily. He had gotten pretty familiar with the lay of the land around the castle and the grounds around it, but he was sure there was still plenty he hadn't seen that Dusk would be able to show him. In reality though all he really cared about was the fact that he was getting to spend time with Dusk. The tour was just an added bonus.

She led the way till they made it around the back of the castle, bringing him to a path he had never noticed before that seemed to wind down the slope toward the beach. The sound of the ocean waves was louder and louder as they leisurely strolled down the path. His blue and lavender eyes shifted towards her as she mentioned her condolences for Ashen's disbanding and he gave her a little smile in response. "Thanks... It's been weird to think about, but I understand why it had to happen. I'm sure it's harder on my aunt's kids since she led the pack for so long, but I'm kind of happy with where I've ended up." He gave her a grin at that, holding her gaze for a moment before those fluttering butterflies in his stomach made him look off toward the ocean shyly, his face suddenly feeling as warm as the sun.
