I enjoy our walk. I don't know if Esileif finds it as enjoyable, she seemed awkward, Like she didn't know how to walk with me. A small laugh escapes my mouth "Oh please Esileif don't worry about me, I'll keep up with you. These little legs are used to the pace of you tall folk." I smile, it is a simple thing- trying to lighten the mood, as she is so serious. So driven. I hear her brush of my thoughts, but simply in disagreement- or so I think. I nod along her ideas aren't wrong or faulty- but I guess we just have different ways at viewing the world.
But what I really want to know is what she had to say about my proposal. We walked and talked and its a lovely time, well minus the beginning. Anyway, I smile as my proposal sank in, she was obviously not sure what to think. For a moment I thought I saw the real her, the driven young lass. she fumbled her way through her thoughts partially out loud. I think i like her more this way, less polished mess perfect. But before I can say so, her face falls still and she put her composure all proper and correct. and I hear her answer, thoguth he words still held the shock of it.
I nod to her, big grin on my face. "Perfect! Just great, I have quite the land picked out, I think it is quite nice. A stream, plenty of shade and tree cover. I am thinking it would be a perfect sanctuary. It is within the Dale, so we are technically within their kingdom but we will not have to be involved in things unless we decide. Oh and you have to meet Weir, my friend I told you I was going to meet, he doesn't know yet. I think he will be much pleased." Ok ok, yes, I might have been prancing and yes, i was excited, but it had all come together. That is exciting, no? Well I looked at her and knew that she could grow within my herd. It would be good for her and maybe she would relax some. "So, shall we go see the space?!?" I don't really give her time to answer. I knew by her ernest reply that she was excited, on some level and that she would want to see it, and would follow. My little legs took off at a nice little gallop, so what she could easily canter along, this would be good. a new start. Ma told me to rise, and well look here, I did it.
