<div class="floatleft">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/d/d5/Ayshia.jpg)</div><br/><strong>Who:</strong>Valko, Tamen<br/><strong>Where: </strong>Center of the Crane Hearth<br/><strong>When:</strong>Late afternoon<hr/><div style="text-align: justify;">Ayshia saw his surprise and was pleased. She thought she had been rather obvious about her intent, especially when she used both of their favorite colors and then asked for his opinion. She passed her arms quickly around his neck a first time, to know how long it needed to be and after a quickly done and tight double knot, she cut off the excess and was in the process of actually slipping the small bone into the hoop behind Valko’s head when she saw her father enter the hearth.<br/><br/>Ayshia did not react as vividly as Valko at the sudden appearance of her father. She was enjoying the little bit of time she had alone with Valko, getting to know him was  a lot easier than she had anticipated. “It looks good on you.” She whispered, struggling to get the bone in the hoop, most likely because she was a little nervous. It was the second time in a day that she was in his personal space, though this time around it was by choice and she wasn’t so pressed against him. She laughed softly at Valko’s reaction and she was about to come to his defense when her father embarrassed her too.<br/><br/>“Father…” Ayshia protested, blushing weakly as she withdrew back to where she was sitting before. IT was true that she had kept this little piece for someone special. She loved the small wolf, but it only seemed fit to give it to Valko. Especially after the praise he did of it; she was sure he would be careful with it. “We’ve prepared enough vegetable for cooking for the whole camp, Tamen. I left it where Lorna will be expecting them to be when she thinks is time to start the cooking.” She gave Valko a smile that she meant to be reassuring to him. She wouldn’t mind his presence at the hearth for the meal. Her cheeks were still rather red, and she wanted to let her father know what she thought about how he had ruined a good moment where the both of them were growing at ease with one another, but it would have to wait. After all, wasn't it the role of a parent to thoroughly embarrass their kids?<br/> </div>
