Taste of adventures past

Walk | Talk | Think

The girl's lips quirked into a quick smile as she felt Glacier's breath tickle across her forehead and ear, her ear twitching reflexively as a result. Glacier's answer only managed to keep it there longer as what he had to say was positive and encouraging. Anais was glad for him that his family was growing to like the place he and his brother had chosen for them to live. She had known how difficult the task was still could not imagine how they might have found a place that had every single thing each of them wanted, but at least getting everyone to tolerate it and stay together was a miracle. "I'm glad," she murmured contentedly, feeling as if her friend that she cared too much for was certainly in a good place.

She assumed they would lapse into silence again, but only a small pause interrupted Glacier as he said her name. The ear that was still exposed perked slightly as she listened to his deep, quiet voice with her gaze fixed on the ocean, and her thoughts followed his statements. Her past? He wanted to know more about her history? It made her smile to think that he was curious about her, that he would find her interesting enough to want to know more. She too was curious about him, but she had seen how protective and cautious he had been about even mentioning the family he had so the thought of learning more from him had never crossed her mind. But here was the perfect opportunity, a back-and-forth game of a question for a question. It was a thrilling idea.

And a scary one too. She could not place why just yet, but the thought made her nervous, anxious, as if there were things there in her past that she would have rather not shared, not brought to light, as if they were not suited for telling her wonderful friend Glacier. But he had asked...and she very much wanted to give him this one little thing. And, because it was Glacier, she was sure he was going to make it fun for her. "Okay," she answered cheerily enough, a little of her nervousness creeping into her tone but not enough to entirely give her away. She made herself smile and waited expectantly for Glacier to ask the first question. After all, the game had been his idea, so he must have had something in mind to start them off.
