The camp’s hunters know what they’re doing and they have a extra hand this year.” Lars replied in a tone that he hoped would sound reassuring to her. Brushing the animal with her in the annex had become a time that he cherished, a moment that he was looking forward to when he closed the flaps of his sleeping area at night. He had other thoughts of her at that time too, and had come to realize that his desire to hold her, to keep her safe and happy were all symptoms of something more serious than interest. He was falling for the young woman.<br/><br/>Her words about his brushing technique brought Lars back to reality, to the fact that she was right here, right now, with him and he was too much of an oaf to do something about it. He nodded his head, unsure if he could trust his ability to form coherent words as he had been more or less day dreaming about her, right beside her. He smiled and moved away for Naliya to do what need to be done. The puppy’s eagerness to get out of the tent was an obvious demonstration of how everyone felt, but had the dignity to be more contained about it. Lars knew by now that the wolf did have a totally different opinion of what dignity was.<br/><br/>Lars was the last to come out of the lodge, behind Naliya and the animals and he took a deep breath. “I like your legs, they’re fine in my opinion.” Lars said without thinking, but when his brain caught on what had just come out of his mouth he tried to shrug it off and failed. There was a faint blush to his cheek and he was glad that he still had some of that winter beard, even if he had groomed it short the day before. <br/><br/>“Runa!” He called out when his eyes found a stick on the ground, something sturdy about as long as his forearm. Lars picked it up and he threw it away once he was sure he had the pup’s attention. He remembered the game with the bone they had played in the kitchen. Now the risk that she make a mess were far less and it was obvious that the pup was eager to run and play. <br/></div>
