Horizon Ridge For the Heart

Gavriil seemed to be in a very good mood, even a bit playful, therefore for Pump, who was not used to that kind of treatment (for a lack of a better word), his answers came as a bit of a surprise. She shot him a surprised look and couldn't decide, whether she should laugh or scold him for being cheeky. Her old self would have feel offended and she probably would have refused to talk to him for the rest of the walk.

However, his cheerful mood and easy manner around her was hard to resist. Therefore wolf-dog smiled to herself and said nothing. "You are a chatty bird," she agreed, happy that, while she wasn't that open about herself, he could fill the gaps with funny nonsense. "We are on a scavenger hunt," she reminded him, in case he had forgotten. Then it occurred that he might have meant it differently. "I like to live," she added.
