Lover's Song

The boy was only vaguely aware of her wandering gaze as he was focusing on keeping himself from staring at her for too long. A task in of itself as he didn’t want to appear rude by not meeting her gaze but every time he did little butterflies swirled in his stomach. It was a feeling Hymn was used to now, and how could he not be when every second wolf made him feel that way, but it never got any easier to deal with.

Still the fact she was so easily distracted by their surroundings gave him an excuse to watch her, amused and fascinated by her curiosity. She commented on his explanation and he chuckled casting gaze around them as the insects swirled and pulsed around them. He imagined that there would probably be quite a bit more destruction if they did more than blink harmlessly.

If Hymn had known what she was thinking upon his introduction he probably would have laughed instead he accepted her compliment and name with a small smile and listened with amusement as she questioned him further. "I can’t say for certain, this may be a breeding ground or something… I don’t usually see them till it’s a lot warmer like in the summer." Even though spring had rolled around it had yet to really heat up like it was supposed too so he assumed his explanation was at least possible.  She bombarded him with more questions and he laughed again.

"No, it’s okay." He assured her, amusement weaving into his tone. "I am, I live in a pack near here called Fiori with my mothers and brother, Psalm." He looked at her for a moment. "So safe to assume you’re not from around here?"
