Her reaction was everything he hoped it to be, and the smile that broke across her features flooded him with relief. He let out the breath he hasn’t noticed he was holding as she turned and bound for her shelter. Noah followed, rather slowly, just taking in the joy that sparked each of her steps. He smiled, a soft smile that warmed his whole face.
”I am glad you like it.” he said as she turned back to him, his smile broadening some. It turned, rather quickly, into raised eyebrows and jaw slightly open as she grabbed his hand and pulled him into her shelter. The color that rose to his ears he could not prevent, and he stood rather still as she grabbed her own parcel. He held out his hands and unwrapped it carefully. The arrows inside were beautiful, well made, and a blessing to him. His smile returned as he lifted and inspected them. ”Thank you. These are wonderful.”
