Great Bear Wilderness We get to carry each other

Burke lifted his muzzle a bit. His docked tail might have been wagging a bit as he stepped closer to her. "But of course. Isn't that like the highest honor in life, being accepted by the water rats?," he spoke in return at her. He was obviously joking about that. His pale eyes returning back to her. Wondering how she was doing. After she had given advise to him about how to deal with the loss of his mate. Burke had never seen her after that again.

The large male wanted to ask how things were at her side but normally when he would ask such things he could get some other reply instead of what he wanted to her. Take her name for example. "So annoyed to meeting you here right now," he returned to her on the same tone she had used. Because from the inside, Burke was pretty..... happy that he was meeting her again.
