Taking a deep breath, his chest rising against her as he thought on it briefly, the elven man exhaled again as he then spoke in a soft tone. His eyes watching her intently and seriously. Caressing her hair with one hand slowly as he spoke those words.<br/><br/>"I may be busy a while once I return to Koko, and pay off my debt. I do not know yet. I do know I don't plan to be a stranger though. I will attempt to get back here sometime, if it looks like it'll take a while I'll get a letter in shape to give to Koko to deliver to you. I figure she respects you enough to not pry on the contents of that letter."<br/><br/>He smiled to her. Gently kissing her cheek. "I'm not going to head off and wander out, but I will -eventually- have to head forth."<br/><br/>Valen gave her a soft hug after saying this. It was all he could do to keep himself quiet as well.
