Duck Lake Cruel limits

Rex. He committed the name to memory and was sure he'd add the man to his list of cute guys he liked to think about at night when he was trying to sleep. And he didn't even seem to notice how awkward Pheiros had just been, though admittedly, a lot of it was probably in his head. Or Rex just didn't mind. Either way, he was eager to move past it. 

He was new here, and he wanted to know if Pheiros was from around here and if he recognized the tracks in front of them. He looked to where Rex motioned and then smiled. Oh, those are mine, he answered. I already walked around the lake once and was making another trip around, Pheiros explained. It probably made him seem like a weirdo, but he was way too bad at lying to try and come up with something clever. And yeah, my pack lives in the bypass northeast of here, he added, tilting his head in the direction of home. Where are you from? he asked curiously.
