Firefly Ravine hambone king

The girl shifted to lie down near him and he looks in her direction and watches her for a long moment. He can’t deny he’s a little curious about what’s going through her mind. She hasn’t run off away from him—not that he’d stop her—and she sticks close. She trusts him enough tag along but he wonders how much energy she has to offer much than she has already. As he is able to let himself relax, he heaves a long sigh and relaxes in the afternoon sun.
 
A little while later, he urges the girl up and over the shortest part of the ravine to continue on.
