[/html]Her frustrations were gone, and in their place Anu had gained a bit of amusement from watching Tayui work. The look of great concentration was almost as attractive as the one where Tayui looked to Anu with gentle eyes and a soft smile. The gray elder found herself searching for that look at times, and savoring each time she caught the glance. The Aston woman gave her an almost cynical smirk, and then the way she focused on the tinder and face she made caused Anu to sit up slightly and watch the pale woman with a smile. It seemed that Tayui was confident in taking up the challenge.
She worked slowly at first, a patience that Anu had lost with the falling sun, but then swiftly moved to give the flames a few puffs of oxygen. Anu moved forward when Tayui leaned back, giving her own air to the fire, and moved a dry piece of wood to catch aflame before setting it below the rest of the arranged pieces. It was growing with the new food to burn, and Anu was satisfied and appreciated the work Tayui had done. She moved back, to sit beside the fire. Her legs crossed, hands folded in he lap as she rested and felt the building warmth of the fire.
A job well done. Anu commented, her tone light and playful. After a second passed she gestured for the female to sit beside her, there was a matter pressing in her thoughts and she wished to relief herself of the burden. It was a sensitive subject, as was many things in their life. Due to the instability of their location. But before she brought it up she had the urge to be settled beside the woman she shared her time with.
There was a giant lack of labels between them, and Anu found that she did not desire to identify what they were exactly be it a friendship or something deeper. In the orchard of Berwick they had a freedom (as well as a chaos) that Anu had never experienced in her adult life. And though she knew in the further realms of her mind that what she held for Tayui was complex and beyond a friendship, she decided to enjoy rather then analyze.
She looked down at her hands for a moment, gathering courage to speak. Oak has gone off, to look at a new pack. Vinátta. She spoke up, looking at Tayui’s face to catch her reaction. Did she want to stay, or go? It was an unspoken question, yet the conversation had been started, in a round about way. Anu was a patient wolf, and so she was not one to rush into a discussion hastily. She only waited to hear what Tayui thought of the statement, blue eyes wavering from her wolfess companion to her hands and then back again.
