Blacktail Deer Plateau Change makes me nervous

I love the realistic, emotional dynamic between these two. :D

Hope it's cool to fade here with these two going off to play with the pups. :)

Blue Willow didn't seem to want to rock the boat, though Peregrine could easily sense her discomfiture. His residual anger left him and he nudged her cheek with his cool, black nose. "I really am sorry for snapping at you, Willow. You... you're my best friend, you know that?" he said sort of feebly, smiling sheepishly at her. He paused for several seconds, then kissed the corner of her eye, as perhaps a guilty older brother might.

Walking forward into the clearing, he called over his shoulder, "How about... THE FLOOR IS LAVA!" Peregrine bellowed this at the top of his voice, startling all four puppies awake. Laughing despite his brooding temper just a moment ago, he galloped into the fray as they all bounced to their feet, groggy but, as always, eager to play.
