Later that night.......

*initially this is just for Saethwr and Willow.*
Saethwr sits by the hearth, running a stone over the blade of
his dagger. "Willow, come sit with me. I feel you should know
some more about me. Especially as I may have to leave for a
short while."
He sheathes his blade and waits for the questions to start.

The foxling did as she was bid, chewing her bottom lip nervously
and pale green eyes painted in white and orange, glistening with
tears. "Saethwr is leaving?" she ask in a soft, low voice as she
sat down upon a wooden foot stool at his feet and gazed up at
him confused. "But...but Saethwr will return?"

He tenderly wipes a tear from her cheek. "Don't cry for me. At
least not until I'm in a grave. You know the gate has closed and
another has opened, well I'm going to help look for it. It's my
duty."
Saethwr let's out a heavy sigh.
"I would like you to stay here and travel with the main caravan.
The Gods know I'd never forgive myself if you came to harm
trying to follow after me".

Willow made a little pout, shaking her head to send her bells
softly ringing and folded her arms across her chest as she gaze
into his eyes. "Saethwr does not want Willow by his side...but
what if Saethwr is hurt?" she desperately tried to hid the hurt
his words cause her, unexpected and strange she should fear his
parting from her but deep down she also knew he was still to
protect her as well. "But Saethwr will come back...to the main
caravan...to Willow?"

Saethwr swallows before speaking again, a lump forming in his
throat. "I will return to the caravan. I have to or how else
would they know where to fight the gate?" He checks his belt for
his weed pouch and strikes his pipe alight. "There's nothing on
this soil that would stop me returning to my friends." He takes
a token from his belt, a symbol of some sort, and presses it
into her hand. "While you hold this token you hold me. Do you
understand?" He needs forward and softly kisses the top of her
head.

"Precious token..." Willow muttered softly to herself, glancing
down at the gifted object in her hand before curling her clawed
fingers tightly over it to keep the token safe. Willow blushed,
a little giggle escaping her lips as Saethwr gently placed a
kiss upon the top of her head. "Willow is honoured to be called
a friend of Saethwr..." the foxling offer him a shy, sweet smile
then giggling as she reached up to her dread locked hair and
from it untied a fabric ribbon adored with tiny fragments of
bone and a bead handed it to him. "It's...it's a good luck
charm...perhaps Saethwr will keep it safe so Saethwr is
protected by Willow?" she said quietly, the sudden quickening of
her heart surprising her as she hoped he accepted it.

A slight smile appeared on Saethwr's lips. He accepted the
ribbon from Willow. "Thank you my dear. I will keep this with me
as long as we're apart. I vow I will return it to you when I am
safe again."
The elf wondered if Willow knew in Den culture, tokens were
given as a sign of affection.

Willow frown, wrinkling her nose at his words, confused but not
offended but the thought of him returning the ribbon as it meant
he would come back to her.
"Willow wishes Saethwr to keep it always if he wishes...Willow
gives it as a sign of friendship, protection and...love" the
foxling's freckled cheeks reddened at her confession...she did
not know what romantic love was yet but she cared deeply
Saethwr...even more than Astandord and if this was the
blossoming of 'love' then she wanted Saethwr to know she cared
for him and wanted him safe from harm.

With a slight colouring of his cheeks, Saethwr takes both her
hands in his. "Willow, if it is your wish for me to keep this
until the end of days then who am i to deny the request of a
beautiful creature such as yourself. I am grateful for your
friendship. And protection. As for love, be careful with using
that word...... it has many different uses........" He turns his
head away to prevent Willow seeing a single tear, crawling down
his cheek.

The foxling trembles slightly as Saethwr gently clasps her tiny
clawed hands and then calls her a beautiful creature, her cheeks
were aflame now. "Yes...it is Willow's wish for Saethwr to keep
the ribbon...but wishes no offence if 'love' was the wrong work
to offer you" she looked down, staring at their hands, wondering
if elven kind 'loved' as her race or that or the Den She wasn't
a fool she knew there were shades of love...the love of a mother
for her child...a sister for a brother...a man for a woman and
she didn't want to offend her 'friend' by misreading his
affections for her.
