Heron Lake Plateau It's a helluva life

Just how is she supposed to be upset with him after a greeting like that?  It was kind of totally unfair.  But was she really going to let this get between them?  So far, other than Tuathal, Colt was her favorite sibling... and that was kind of saying something with how goddamn many of them there were.  And apparently he felt the same way. 

Maybe there would be an appropriate time to talk to him about this calmly, when she wouldn't be tempted to shove herself inbetween them where she very much does not belong.  

Fuck.  She forced a smile, let out a breath she didn't realize she'd been holding.  Yeah, it is.  I like, almost died last week or something 'cause I was workin' too hard.  I've gotta take it easy on days like this but, whoa boy, it's not easy.
