Moonspear steal my sunshine

600! :D

Bronco flinched and grimaced when the tawny female suddenly inhaled, and then sneezed- blowing a puff of air into his face, and sending a few specks of mud splattering into the fur of his ruff from the sheer force of her sneeze. He tried not to look too grossed out- after all, he'd taken care of puppies, and had had to deal with pretty much everything gross that puppies had to offer- so that he didn't make a bad impression and make her think that he was disgusted by her.

He might not have been as convincingly unphased as he wanted to appear, smiling awkwardly as she slipped to her feet, and he barely managed to voice "Uh, bless yuh-" before he was hit by a spray of mud. Yet again, he had to try and not seem too grossed out as he clamped his mouth shut a bit too late, swishing his tongue around his mouth only to find he had indeed caught some of the gritty mud. Again, he reminded himself- he'd been through worse. 

The most startling thing, though, was when she complimented him, echoing what were apparently Meerkat's words by calling him handsome. For someone who regularly complimented women, he was at a loss for how to respond when someone turned the spotlight on him. "Oh, I, uh....Thaaaanks," He said, casting a glance around to see if he could spot his sister, to give her a look. What else had she said about him? And while he hated to admit it- he found it a bit awkward, being paired up for a date with someone who was the same age as his mother. And he had no problem play-flirting with older women normally, but not with any great deal of sincerity. "You're, uhm. Toad, then, yeah? Meerkat, uhm," Wait, what had Meerkat told him? He grinned sheepishly. "Well she told me you were hideous an' warty an' that you liked to eat flies so...Kind of a relief, seein' how wrong she was, ahuhuh."
