Sauti'laini's heart fell when Njaa turned to leave. "I hope to see you tomorrow night too, Njaa. Please be careful when you go to battle in the morning. Please." She watched him turn to leave, her ears pinning back and a mournful expression pinching her face.
What could she do? Nothing. She was too shy, too timid, too SOFT to do anything besides let him leave.
When he was a fair distance away, Sauti sighed quietly before whispering to herself, "I love you~."
She could only hope that he came back to her in one piece so that she could garner the courage to tell him to his face.
