<div class="floatleft">(http://americablog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Kili-203x300.jpg)</div><strong>Who:</strong>Ayshia, Tamen<br/><strong>Where:</strong>Center of the Crane Hearth<br/><strong>When:</strong>Late afternoon<br/><hr/><br/>Valko was surprised when she said the necklace was for him. When she said it was for him he realized she had used both his favorite color and her own. He smiled and shook his head as he gathered his long hair to move it out of her way, "I don't mind at all. Thank you very much. I love it and I will treasure it." He tried not to watch her too intently as she leaned forward and wrapped her arms around him. Having her so close again was very nice. He couldn't help but notice how nice she smelled. He wanted to wrap his arms around her too and just hold her close as he had when they were stuck in the hole.<br/><br/>Then the nice little moment was over as he jumped a little when he heard Tamen clear his throat. He realized what this must look like at first glance to the man. His daughter had his arms around a man in the middle of their hearth. At Tamen's question he stammered, "I... we... she..." but then the carver commented on the necklace. Him saying Ayshia had been saving the little wolf for someone very special made Valko blush even more. Did she really think he was special? If what he said was true, and he suspected it was from the look on Ayshia's face, then he would treasure her gift even more. When he asked if he would stay for dinner he looked between the woman and her father and replied, "Well, if you don't mind... I think that would be nice." Even though it made him terribly nervous he knew if he had any hope of winning Ayshia he would have to also win over her father.
