"Right," Lane confirmed, a little relieved to have the pressure of pups off the table for now. Since all this was new to her, she preferred to take things one step at a time. Focus on the relationship first, then worry about pups later, if it felt right. 

"Of course," Lane agreed. Of course she wouldn't marry someone after only meeting them once! And it made sense that Kukutux would bow out after arranging a meeting. She couldn't be expected to do everything. If there was a spark, things would take care of themselves. ..Right? 

Kukutux was glancing off toward home, like she was ready to depart, and Lane was feeling like she needed some time to process all of this. 

"I guess we'll catch up with each other at some point, then?" Lane knew where to find Kukutux. If she decided that she wanted to pursue this.. opportunity then she could track Kukutux down and see what else (or rather, who else) she had up her sleeve at that time.
