the haunting

posting to keep this going!

Casmir had absolutely no idea what was happening, but Shego's behavior, her slinking movements, her fluttering eyelids -- she made his heart race, and he was suddenly quite smitten by her, in a confused, platonic sort of way. "It's okay if you can't remember," he offered lamely. "Maybe your pack is new? You c-could show me, if you wanted," the boy added in a mumble. Inside his brain, his senses were shrieking at the newness of it all, tempering his attitude with a fuzzy undertone of fear, and on a whim, the boy glanced behind himself, in case this was some sort of joke. But he saw no one, and turned back to Shego.

"I , uh, I like your name. It's different. Cool." Cool!? Really? Casmir chuckled sheepishly. "You, uh, wanna hunt or something? We could try to fish."
