[color=ed1c24]Leo's "ooo"-ing was exactly what Balon wanted to hear. He grinned wide and put his hands on his hips, triumphantly. [/color] [color=a187be]"Thats so brave of you!"[/color] [color=ed1c24]She laughed, [/color][color=a187be]"but knowing you I bet the moment the idea planted itself in you brain, hell or high water you were going to get your home built exactly how you wanted."[/color] [color=f26522]"Damn straight!"[/color] [color=ed1c24]Balon laughed in response. She leaned towards him and spoke quietly,[/color] [color=a187be]"You're kind of hard headed like that, aren't you?"[/color] [color=ed1c24]He smiled at her. She looked back up into the trees,[/color] [color=a187be]"You know this is actually very mer-ish of you, you forming your home around nature. Though ive never heard of one of our kind making their home in a tree, we are a people of the water and the land."[/color] [color=ed1c24]Balon raised his brows.[/color] [color=f26522]"Is that so? I thought you lived beneath the waves always."[/color] [color=ed1c24]She looked at him out of the corner of her eye.[/color] "[color=a187be]The sky kind of intimidates us."[/color] [color=ed1c24]Balon snickered.[/color] [color=f26522]"Intimidates you? You're a brave girl, you wouldn't let a bird or breeze deterr you. Besides, have you never just looked up and wondered what it'd be like up there? Being a bird?"[/color] [color=ed1c24]he looked up at the blue sky and watched the wind rustle the leaves of the mighty trees. [/color] [color=f26522]"So... You wanna see what it looks like up there? Or are you scared of heights?"[/color] [color=ed1c24]he said with a mean grin on his face.[/color]
