<div class="floatleft">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/1/14/Momoa.jpg)</div><br/><strong>Who:</strong>Open<br/><strong>Where: </strong>Horse Annex<br/><strong>When:</strong>shortly after dawn<br/><hr/><div style="text-align: justify;">Naliya’s smile when she arrived into the annex helped put some resolve into his decision to try to get involved in a relationship with her, and soon before someone else came and swept her off her feet. “Good morning, Naliya.” He replied softly, his voice just a little lower than usual. It was still early and she wasn’t sure if everyone was awake or not. He didn’t want to be the one to wake someone who could afford to sleep. His stomach knotted; he was growing more and more nervous at the idea, but he knew he had to. All he needed to find was the appropriate moment so that it didn’t seem to come out of the blue.<br/><br/>When she put her hand on top of his, his movement stopped and he briefly covered their hands with his other one. Lars gave her a warm smile, and his hand moved to her cheek. It would be easy, right there and then. All he had to do is lean in, but as his fingers followed the line of her jaw he realized that he lacked the courage. When Naliya spoke, Lars resumed the grooming. “I think everyone is eager to resume the activities of the warmer seasons. I am really looking forward for the first hunt. Will you be coming with us? With Tikka?” Lars asked and he hoped her answer was going to be positive.<br/><br/>Of course, Naliya didn’t strike him as being the kind of woman to hunt. She saved animals, fed them and helped them grow, but she was also an intelligent woman who realized that to have meat some of them did have to be sacrificed. He was almost done with this side of the animal, he had yet to do the other side and he wondered if Naliya would take upon her to do it or if he was going to. “I’ll make sure you be safe, if you come with us. You know, so your brother doesn’t have to worry.” He added and felt like a fool for saying something about Valko not worrying. Lars knew that he would be worried if Naliya came, but he still wanted her to, regardless.<br/></div>
