Lets Walk

Since returning from the wash that was the festival at the Hallows, Eltrys had been diligent in hunting for Haydee and leaving her a meal by the falls. He didn't push or pressure her for the rest of the season.

Summer grew damp, wet, and slogging into a mild autumn here in Auster and his heart had grown heavier by the day. He wasn't keen on pushing himself on her but he saw no one else was pressing themselves close to her, supporting her, or uplifting her. He was also not keen on entering the cave she dwelled in.

He brought her a meal, as usual, but this time he sat and waited for her to appear to take it. Which he had done a few times, but only sometimes. With the meal he also placed a mid-autumn flower for her.

"Haydee, come on a walk with me." His voice was soft through the demanding words. He won't take no for an answer, not for this.

"Speech!"
