His words, simple but straightforward, somehow brought clarity back into her train of thought, smoothing over her rough emotions. Unexpected tears stung her eyes, but she quickly blinked them back, embarrassed even though she knew he couldn't see them. She'd wanted to help him, but now it seemed he had helped her. "Thank you, Pikerunner. That was kind of you." A small smile graced Dawnsong's lips, and this time it stayed. Maybe.. Just maybe, what he said about her family was true. It certainly felt right. If anything, it made her feel better about life. She sat a little straighter and inhaled the crisp air deeply. It was near dusk now, shadows nearly gone. It was getting colder and probably time to sleep, but Dawnsong finally felt a little more comfortable-- she wasn't about to end the conversation just yet. "Have you ever night-hunted, Pikerunner?" she asked.
