Heron Lake Plateau Just a wasted puzzle piece

"I might've noticed."  He said with a grin of his own.  "Can't say I mind it either."  Because he didn't.  Having her around was nice as hell, and he'd be sad to see that stop if she decided to dig herself a new place.  Then again... he might not be much of one for sleepin underground, but he was adaptable.  Couldn't be the worst thing.

Y'know.  If that happened.

Her smile, though.  That secret one, that made it clear for a minute, he was her focus... like he was a game she wanted to keep playing.  It took him back, to another set of eyes, green instead of gold.  It hit him like a punch to the gut, and for a minute, his smile flickered.  Fortunately, they were walking... she may or may not have seen.

"My luck, though, I'd end up bunkin with a badger.  There a strategy to findin the right spot for one of those?"
