Say It Ain't So

Had Rob known, Osprey had had a very similar idea in her mind. A little kiss would do. She had heard a lot of this stuff last year during her first heat. The male population of the nearby territories had been very infatuated with her for some time. At first she had enjoyed the attention, but you can listen to the "declarations of true love" only as long as it is something new. When you hear it for the tenth time from a stranger you have just met, it gets annoying.

Therefore she was pretty skeptical of the concept "love" between unrelated individuals and thought that she was also rather immune to empty flattering and romantic nonesense.

She contemplated Rob's words for a while and then said: "Well, let's make it more interesting. A game - I tell you something about me and you do the same about yourself. Sounds fair, doesn't it?"
