...

My legs kick in the air. Below us people mill about. 

"So tell me."

Her head tilts towards mine. 

"Of what?"

She rasps.

And I gaze to the sun.

"What's happening out there? I've been so focused on here." I wave my hand over the city. My small town that had grown so much. "That I've no idea of what has happened out there."

Her lips purse. She leans a bit forward. Casting her gaze below our feet.

What made her so trusting of me? Why does she lean on me so? Is it the healing, the immense trust that I had given her? Or something else, something a bit more personal?

I don't know.

Her head lays against my shoulder. A finger runs through my tails, it lays over her lap. And fluffs against her legs.

"It's not vital. I'd much prefer our prosperity, but I need to know."

A soft position would work better.
