Wapun Meadow Poppy's In The Brain (M)

Murdock choked back an extremely inappropriate laugh at Poppy's question. Apparently she did have some knowledge of sex - just not enough to use the word properly. "Sort of," he agreed, not sure that was what he'd call his and Engel's position. But they hadn't not been 'doing the sex' either.

"I'd prefer it if you kept that to yourself, though," he added, not wanting the wolves of Easthollow to get the wrong idea about him. By now, his excitement had died down entirely, and he was left with a strange, empty feeling in his chest. He wished Poppy hadn't seen that at all, but it felt crass to apologize while Engel was still there, so he saved it for a later date and kept quiet for the moment, allowing the two their catching up.
