Redhawk Caldera I made a deal with the man on the moon

Good idea! I may have to replenish my supply for Sunday, lol.

Luck was on Elwood's side that day, because Finley continued along with him with no signs of protest. In fact, she reinforced his lie by acting as though it was totally normal to run into a bear at Lake Rodney. The closer they got to the body of water, the more nervous Elwood felt -- but at the same time, he could feel his confidence increasing as well. If she hadn't caught onto him yet, then maybe he could continue to fool her...

Seizing the opportunity to distract Finley briefly with a story, he came to a halt, looking at her with curiosity in his face. He had never stopped to consider the origin of Lake Rodney's name. "Really? I had no idea," he replied, genuinely interested. He imagined a nerdy looking bear -- because "Rodney" seemed like a nerdy name, in his opinion -- and stifled a laugh. "There's gotta be a good story there," he encouraged, his paws remaining still as he waited for her to explain.
