Morningside Cuesta it's time for a new beginning

A soft huff of - of not laughter, but something near it - escaped him as Khoe followed him to the ground, and took up the same position that they'd shared several minutes before. Grayday obliged her, hooking his paw over her side and settling himself around her smaller body. Her scent was fresh and warm and intense, and he remembered, for a moment, how it had been with Amber. How he'd hopped up for another round.

"I am in so much pain," he said after a moment, another huff escaping him. Real laughter, this time. And it was true - his leg was killing him. He supposed he shouldn't have hoped for much from this, all things considered. He certainly wouldn't be looking to begin again. "You have the worst timing," he teased, turning his nose toward her and preening at the soft curls on her neck. His heartbeat began to slow, though his head still swam with the scent of her. And, although his leg hurt in a way it hadn't for days, the pain in his chest had eased.
