Zel was in the middle of reading Larea's comment when he felt something warm on his shoulder. He turned his head slightly to see Larea resting against him. He blinked with his eyebrows raised in supprize.<span style="font-style: italic">It's a friendly gesture,</span>he had to remind himself, blushing.<span style="font-style: italic">Not a romantic one.</span><br/><br/>He glanced back at the pad and finished reading the short comment then gave a slight laugh. "I'm glad you're enjoying it," he said, "but if that were so, I'd run out of stories to tell." Zell stole a look out at the lake. Still there was no sign of their wolf-man guide. Perhaps he was out gathering breakfast for himself? Zel shook his head at the odd, yet presumably possible, theory.<br/><br/>It really was a beautiful day though. Perhaps it wouldn't be so bad to just sit and watch the lake for a moment more.<span style="font-style: italic">With Larea,</span>something inside him said. Zel raised his eyebrows, supprised. Where did that come from?
