The girl talked about the offer he had made her and how she would consider it, both of them. He could have a girl in his pack! The idea was strange, especially given that this girl wasn't his sister. He offered her a smile and a farewell stuttered out in awe as she took off to find a place to rest for the night. He knew that he should be getting back to Cut Rock River and so he climbed out of the pool of water. She was amazing in his mind but he knew better than to get ahead of himself as he remembered Aponi had seemed amazing at first. He watched her run off until she was out of site before turning back towards the lands that he knew so very well.
He contemplated these thoughts, his mind wandering briefly to her before he nearly walked into a tree. He thought about her while paying attention to where he was going. She was different. She had to be different. She seemed so nice and benevolent and that was who she would be. He refused to believe she was something evil or cruel until he had proof which had been his downfall in the past. This time, it might just be his guiding light. He took a deep breathe as he broke into a run, eager to tell his uncle of his new friend and how she might find her way to the borders very soon. His eyes sparkled with excitement.
