Phoenix Maplewood smile without a reason why

aditya laughed, golden eyes creasing tight in a grin. "rather a flat shape," he shot back, raising his eyebrows at her. she didn't look very flat to him. no, she was all rounded muscle and womanly curve. he let his gaze linger a little longer than normal, adding, "for being trampled by moose, you look terrific."

he nudged the rabbit closer to her, shaking his head. "i already ate," he said, settling down more on her level and stifling a yawn. it had been a long day, and still not over yet. "i figured you ought to, as well."

adi wondered how well the others were getting on with their guest. had they even paid her much attention at all? there had been a sort of frenetic undercurrent to morningside since the fire; where they once would have welcomed strangers with open arms, this latest visitor had gone largely unnoticed, from what he'd seen. perhaps when they were more settled, their ways would morph back to how they'd always been.
