Lets Walk

Her petite frame coalesces outside of the waterfall. His iceberg blue eyes squint with warmth as he watches her blink against the early evening light. She looks... there's a lightness in her step that wasn't there before, a shine to her emerald eyes that had once been absent. She responded to his invitation simply, but he could almost see the glimmer in her eyes of wanting to say more, questions stifled behind her lips.
His eyes are only for her. He watches her pick up the flower and place it behind her ear. A perfect spot for the blossom. His breath heaves against his ribs as she further bids him to lead the way. He honestly didn't think he'd get this far, thinking quickly he decided strolling along the top of the falls was sufficient for the event. He didn't know if he should brush his nose against her cheek. The soft creamy pink beckons him to bury his face against her.
Outwardly he is stoic and calm, a picture of peace. With a soft nod, he begins to lead her up the path to the meeting place over the falls. Ready to press his side softly against hers should she stumble or feel weak. He was certain her long seclusion took away some of her endurance, perhaps walking along this path was the wrong choice.
"I met the new leader of Insomnia, Enki. He was an interesting character." He starts, His eyes lingering on her soft and gentle lines, "Then I had an interesting encounter with a girl named Atreyu. She came from my homeland." She didn't have great news for him, and he didn't want to ruin this moment with such. "And I've taken the girl Alexa out for a few lessons as well. She's still shy but rather clever. Her brother hasn't seemed as interested." Gods he was talking too much about himself. He didn't mention how much the pack missed her joy, how much he wanted to hear her laugh.
He just wanted to keep her in the know, and not pressure her into talking about anything too deeply, unless she wanted to.
