Goodness, I can't even imagine not writing to my family every day while we're apart. I try my best to keep in touch so they know I'm alright. Not talking to them for three years...
[ Oh that'd be terrible! She reaches out and brushes a lock of Erenville's hair back. ]
Uncle Rael would say things like that, too. You'd seen him back in Sharlayan, I think... he often mentioned seeing you around once I told him of you.
[ Her hand doesn't move away, brushing the back of her fingers against his skin and feeling how soft it is for someone who travels so much. Viera are so good with this!!
But she chuckles and nods, letting her thumb brush across his cheek. ]
He always did say you were always running here and there ... now I've seen it for myself.
[ She smiles, ears flicking. ]
Ah... your eyes, they're catching the firelight. They're so pretty.
[ He can’t really deny that it feels nice. Her hands are soft for someone who fights so much.
Ah, but what is he thinking? Even if he leans into the touch just a little bit. He can’t even fathom something like this, can he? No. No he can’t. She already has multiple people.]
…have you looked at your own?
[ Not his best rebuttal. He does cast his gaze to a very interesting piece of grass though.]
[ She slides her fingers down to his chin, turning his face her way slightly, though there's still enough distance between their faces that it's still kind of polite. ]
I'm interested in getting to know you. We're friends, aren't we? I should like to learn even more.
[ A flick of her gaze to his mouth, then to his eyes. ]
[ He was going to argue, but. Well. They’re already this close. He doesn’t draw back. His feeble excuses being blown away nearly immediately by her.
When he turns his head to meet her, their lips barely brush before the sound of a rowdy alpaca interrupts them. They should stop, lest they get spit at if the creature is about to storm their little camp.
[ Oh. He was turning towards her... she's about to lean in when-
ALPACA.
She blinks a few times, watching Erenville move away and feeling her excitement puff as she looks at the fluffy creature who has wandered in on them looking for a treat. The situation is just so silly she can't help but smile...
But she does nod to him, letting him run off and setting her arms over her knees.
Well, it's not like she's impatient- and Erenville is such a pretty sight regardless. She's so looking forward to what the days ahead will bring and what she can learn with him!
... looks like she will have another letter or three to pen, though. Hmm, hmm 😊 ...]

[ Her question though, is a complicated one. ]
I haven't spoken to anyone in my village in three years, I know not how they fare. But you are aware for our kind, three years is just a few blinks.

[He doesn’t recoil when she touches him, no, he’s grown plenty used to the way she is. ]
I remember him from days I had been in and out of Sharlayan. Though it wasn’t often we would get to speak.

What about my eyes? You'll have to take a better look and tell me.
no subject
He’s keeping his hands to himself. ]
Like sapphires. They almost glow. Like they have as many stories to tell as I think they they do.
no subject
Yours look like a jar of honey on a window ledge, catching the light... sweet and delicious. Not that I'd eat your eyeballs. They just look-
[ For a moment, she recalls... And her gaze softens as she smiles. ]
... nostalgic. Like you're home.
no subject
That’s a big compliment for someone you hardly know.
[It’s true. Though he is daring enough to hold their position. ]
no subject
[ They really are close, huh. If she moved closer, she'd be close enough for their faces to be near enough to let their lips brush together. ]
I could gaze at you all night if you'd let me.
no subject
[He admits that much. He’s always quick to brush off advances from others.
He doesn’t stay in one place long enough for anyone to start to think about catching anything more than something fleeting from him. ]
Why? Surely you aren’t here just to stare at me.

[ A flick of her gaze to his mouth, then to his eyes. ]
...a lot more.
no subject
…we are friends.
[Easy to admit, he’s enjoyed watching her have fun for a change. ]
And you intend to do this by staring at me the entire night?
[ He teases her right back. There might be a smile somewhere on his lips if she looks close enough.]
no subject
I don't know, I'm rather good at staring. I can go without blinking for a while, too!
no subject
I should probably walk around the camp again, shouldn’t I? To make sure all is well.
[ He’s just saying this because he’s being shy about being so close!]
no subject
[ She smiles and playfully scritches under his chin with her fingers, drawing her hand back. ]
Get some rest, aye? Oh- I almost forgot.
[ She moves her hand to his opposite cheek and draws his face in to kiss the side closest to her. ]

He has to pull away.]
I’ll take care of it.
[He was so close too!! ]
