Firestone Hot Springs You got someone to blame

There didn't seem to be a reaction on him using a different name for her. He decided to keep using this one until he would get a comment about it. The male lifted his head, the grey female sitting so close by his muzzle. Burke had to look up, which was a strange thing for once. He pushed himself up and out of the pool. His fur dripping and soaked. He gave it a good shake before replying to her with a smirk. Because it was kinda nice to hear that she thought that about him. Yet, last time they ran into each other she was rather down with the loss of her children. It was that pregnancy that made them talk since Burke had been there during her heat, not that anything happened. 

"I am a honest man, what can I say?," he shrugged with that same smirk a bit on his face. So it was indeed that she was back in these lands. How interesting. It felt good to have that playful banter back in his life. They made the most unlikely acquaintances. Burke wouldn't want to say that they were friends. Or were they friends? It was a fine line really. There was a pang of sadness as he thought about what she said. If everyone around him died then life wasn't much fun, right? "You never know, it could just have been an accident like my bloat, something out of your control. Still, can't deny it is good to see you. How is life?"
