One day he may learn to guard his heart, but today he is pleasantly dumbstruck by the girl. The flutter of her dark lashes as he flirts with her, his subtle confident nod almost derailed by the coquette glitter in her honey colored eyes. The warmth radiating off her slender frame as she slips past him makes Valek turns quickly after her, muscle rippling beneath gold and bay. “Then by all means, get us lost.” He rumbles, another handsome smile flashing across his features.
Valeks hooves splash into a smaller stream, which he could have easily bounded but he touches the water whenever possible. He does not know why, only that he prefers it that way. “So where did you live before this?” Maybe someplace he knows but probably not. Hyaline, the Cove, and the meadow are the only places the boy can claim to know well. Hyaline being the best of these, of course.
This is a place very different from home and he is eager to explore it but he is more eager to pace alongside Odelia and calmly catch her eye from to time. “I’ve always lived in Hyaline. It’s in the mountains if you ever want to come and visit… me.” A grin and then he shakes his head lightheartedly. “So where are we going? You must have a place you like here. Can we go there?”
