Blackbeak Bluff don’t do it, don’t give it up

komodo offers up his own pack instead of something nearby, and something about having an escort instead of being alone again causes her heart to thrum.

oh. she says, dumbfounded.  well that was easy.  where did the trap her mother warned her about come in?  maybe there was no pack at all.  but she didn't think that was the case because he had saved her!

it's more fun when they're alive.  gross, where did that come from?  i've never been to an island, she says with some excitement, trying to distract herself.  what is it like?

he jests.  normally such a comment would have been awarded with razor-sharp eyes and a set jaw,  but it was another thing she related to his southern upbringing.  n-no, mister.  i wouldn't.
