Moonspear Madness fills my heart and soul

Bronco hadn't even thought to put a minimum on the age Meerkat would have to be until she suggested one, and he found himself falling into relief quickly as he nodded along. "Yep! Just, like, yeah, once you're an adult, then you can think about that kind of stuff," He said. That sounded about right- and it would at least give him another few months before he'd have to worry about punting Atlas back up onto the mountain if he so much as gave Meerkat the hairy eyeball. And phew- at least she knew that she ought to know more about him, and be on a friendship basis, first. "Friends is a great way to start," He said fondly, and memories of his own childhood came to mind- making him blush when he recalled how even when he'd been younger, he'd doted on those he had admired. 

Of course, his nice, comforting pillow was snatched right out from under him when Meerkat brought to light the fact that at least in terms of pack rank, she'd be an adult within a month. "Whaaaat no," He said, shaking his head. "Nah, no, nah, apfft, no way, man," He said, snorting and fussing. "Yer still just my iddy biddy widdy li'l kiddy sidder-yer-nawt-gonna-be-an-adult-in-a-month," he said, shimmying closer to her with each word he said, with every intention of shuffling her a few steps off the path they were following and into the foliage.
