Heron Lake Plateau And settled for the robot boy

She liked the fact that Colt never stiffened when she made jokes about him being stuck with her. She liked to think that she was a permanent fixture in his life, and that that was that. Of course, it was simply easier to get away with something like that when it was joked about, rather than forcing seriousness into the topic. But even just joking was enough to give Niamh reassurance that he wasn't ditching her anytime soon. 

She snorted at his response. "You're telling me," She said, as though to insinuate that she too found it difficult to be charming. Not a far cry from the truth- as Niamh often struggled with maintaining her cool when it came to dealing with wolves she didn't particularly want to deal with. But she was getting there. "Wanna go see the Quivens today, with me?" She asked, transitioning from all the joking to something she still found to be relatively light-hearted. After all, everyone loved to play with pups, right?
