[aw] open arms and closed hearts

Harrow blinked as the man squinted his face at what must have been the memory of England. "Eh..." Rain was not too terrible--but then again it only rained occasionally, not constantly like the sun man was describing it out to be. "All it does here is fog and mist a lot. It's rare to have a clear day here, too, but it's usually dry." Salsola was especially affected by such weather because of their coastal claim, but Harrow found comfort in the haze. Elusive and secretive was the pack, and the cover was favored. "I guess you didn't come from somewhere that didn't rain a lot. Or you just don't like rain in general," she commented off-handedly, knowing by the way he referred to this England that he was not raised there. But, she did not press for an answer, just merely observed the fact.

Again, with the odd words. Not knowing what he was saying made her annoyed to a degree, but the words sounded familiar enough--she thought she heard something like family and vital--so she did not point it out for him to elaborate. She watched as he patted the girl, and looked up when he had agreed that he would not leave her. The next piece of information didn't phase her much, but by the way he had reacted at his own words caused her to look the other way, as if turning away from something embarrassing she did not want to witness. Loose lips, she thought in the back of her mind. Maybe it was something personal he did not want to share, but she did not over think it. Secrets were precious things.

She looked back to Gale as he spoke once more, obviously changing the subject. Childish curiosity wanted to pry at what he had said, but decided to let it slide, for now. "Everything is good, considering. But not the same." No, change was inevitable, but the longer she took to truly face it, the better it felt. She wanted to lightly comment that she could not wait to regain her family rank, but decided that such frivolous talk would not benefit a conversation with a slave. "And you?" She pretended for a moment he was not in his position, and it helped her talk to him without getting awkward, to act like he was another of the ranked.
