Sun Mote Copse time makes you bolder

Vaguely, Bronco found himself wondering what Penn might think if she could actually see him. Of course, he was fairly dirty, having been digging to improve his bachelor pad, but he wondered if she might find him handsome- and if that might change things. While he hadn't inherited all of his mother's vanity, he was still fairly certain that by most standards, he was a good-looking guy. And while he knew the whole adage about personality being more important than looks- he couldn't help but wonder if maybe, if Fennec could see him...Maybe she would think more highly about him. It was harder to woo when looks were completely out of the equation. 

When she mentioned going on a trip, his ears perked. For a milisecond, he thought she was going to ask him to go with her. After all, he had escorted Sugar Glider when she'd gone to live with the Frosthawks, and he felt it was fairly common knowledge that of the yearlings, he was probably the strongest. He opened his mouth to answer her quickly- but snapped it shut, barely missing the tip of his own tongue, when she said she was going with-

"Penn?!" He blurted. "You're going on a trip with Penn?" He said, this time his voice ending with a bit of a whine. He was insulted. He was angry. What was it that that simple, scrawny idiot had that he didn't? Penn was rude and arrogant. Could Penn hunt as well as he could? Could he protect her if someone attacked her? He hissed a sour breath through his teeth. "He's gonna get you killed." He murmured. "Did...Did he ask you, or...?" He asked, dreading the answer. If Fenec had gone out of her way to choose Penn over him...That was the end of it.
