Blacktail Deer Plateau wild country

ahhHa poor Dante isn't gonna know what to do with all this! Must just be that animal magnetism XD

Perhaps luckily for Junior, Dante was thick as could be when it came to reading attraction in others. If she had even come right out and said it he would have thought it a joke or that she was mistaken... This her subtle/nonexistent cues went completely past without notice. He figured her surprised reaction to seeing him was due to his abrupt appearance and disheveled looks.

"Evil birds, huh? Were you able to teach them a lesson in manners? Birds can be tricky adversaries. The wings don't really make for equal footing." He smiled, the coincidence in her encounter not escaping him.

"Just enjoying the night. Thought I would do one more pass of the borders. Suppose you could call me a night owl," he winked at Osprey, throwing a bit more bird humor her way. "What about you? Besides enraging the local fauna, of course."
