Perry's face in my head at your first reply: :|

Perry's face in my head at your second reply. :D

She came, just as he'd hoped, and the sight of her reddish fur prickling made his lips part to tease her in some fashion, when she referred to herself as his mistress. Peregrine felt his insides burning pleasantly, despite everything he'd gone over in his head a moment ago. A lopsided grin appeared on his dark face, his eyes meeting hers briefly. She was beaming at him like he was the best thing she'd ever seen and that pleased (and melted) him more than anything.

Clearing his throat and trying to remain cool and collected, Peregrine took a breath and then exclaimed, "Surprise!" He paused, smiling more casually now, and said, "Did you ever think you'd see me showing up here? I did consider leaving my calling card but you showed up before I had the chance; impeccable timing, mistress." As that word left his mouth, his eyes flashed sultrily without his being aware of it.

"I wanted to see you," he said after a moment, keeping it honest and without pretense, "and, I guess, check out your domicile." His blue-green eyes lifted, coming over the views at her back. "How're things?" he questioned lightly, his eyes returning to her face (although respectfully avoiding direct contact with her own). The query was open-ended; he could be referring to the creek or just Fox herself. Peregrine supposed she probably knew him well enough to tell which one he actually cared about and which one he cared for not at all.
