Blacktail Deer Plateau Let's blow this popsicle stand!

no worries, dear :) just glad to have you back

Kesuk emerged from the trees and dashed to his side, her sweet face fraught with concern for him. Koda licked her cheek in return, then buried his face in her soft neck fur and let himself get lost in her. He wanted to escape the reality of his situation, even for a moment, and live in a world where it was just the two of them and their love. But Koda knew he couldn't delay for much longer.

He pulled back from her, a hard expression on his face as he prepared to deliver the bad news. "No, we've gotta get out of here, right now," he said urgently. It wouldn't be long before Dante found help and sent someone after him.
