     Something in his eyes grew, and threatened to swallow the color around them whole. She was like her mother, like her aunt; she was a desperate whore begging for attention. She needed to fill in the gaps in her life she could not fill alone. Some people chose drugs, alcohol, devil-grass—she had chosen sex, chosen desire, chosen love. Those were the most dangerous choices of all. Ahren knew that from experience.
     He didn’t say anything. He just kept staring at her, face steady and smiling.

The silence that greeted her made her pause a moment as she half turned and was met with that steady gaze and wild smile. She tilted her head to the side and asked tauntingly. "You never believe in Happily Ever After?" It was a stupid question to ask, she might have wished for one so long ago but the serious world of now and tomorrow had told her the truth, they didn't exist...She gave the male another long look, wondering just why he was standing there like that. Silent and a little bit dangerous. "What?" she asked.

     Finishing up with his bundles, he wrapped them into one bunch and picked it up, slinging it over his shoulder. “I think you need to be careful,” he said, pushing the knife back into its sheath. He was still smiling, but his eyes were darker still. “Go talk to your mother,” he continued, beginning to walk away. “I’m sure she’ll fill in all the blanks.”

The instructions she'd been given by the male seemed to slide off her like water off a duck's back. She had no use with being told what to do, even when it was sound advice. The girl was silent as she watched the male packing his things and getting to his feet. Once more it seemed he was giving her some direction to turn and yet she didn't want to. She sighed to herself and flicked the handful of weeds she'd been holding as she watched the dark hued saddle of the male disappearing into the faster swirling snow.

"Be careful.." she huffed at the warning- Suddenly she turned back towards the packlands, thinking of a warm bed she might be able to snuggle up in and a warm body she could probably coax into said bed if he was anywhere to be found. She'd be careful, but it would have to wait til she had time for such silly notions. For now, she'd rather find something a little more careless and savage.
