Raising herself up on an elbow, Maea watched him with the chin rested in her palm as he recounted events from his life. A soft smile played on her lips, eyes hungrily absorbing the light in his eyes, the soft wry smiles. Such ordinary things; it clenched her heart to hear him meniton them. Blackberry pies. Playing in the ocean. Braiding a sisters hair. Getting in trouble with a fierce lover, and...
Her eyes widened a touch, as she was included in the tally. Blushed a little, as fingers rose to half hide the giddy expression. It still reflected in her gaze. Joy, of having been able to give him something.
"I'm expecting more of those lessons," she reminded him. Traced a finger along the corner of his mouth, over the soft cushion of his lips. "Just one won't get me very far... and it was fun. I want to learn more."
The girl considered him, the firelight casting her face and hair in a red-gold hue. Reflecting the light, her pale skin seemed to almost glow in the gloom.
"You were born in... Leafchange, right? Do you know what day of the season?"
