Redhawk Caldera don't stop until your heart goes numb.

I hope you're feeling better! <3

As soon as those words left Finley's mouth, Elwood knew that they were going to be just fine. Yes, she was still irritated with him, but there were a million worse things that she could have said. Calling him a butt was appropriate and Finley-esque, while also revealing that she wasn't totally serious.

He had to try hard to keep a smile from twitching at the corners of his lips, and swallowed in an attempt to relax the muscles in his face. Instead of chuckling like he wanted to, he hung his head and shuffled forward again, drawing even closer to Finley. He paused when there was about a wolf's length between them, leaving ample space for her reaction, whatever it would be. Elwood felt like he was walking a fine line; he wanted to ham it up, to give an over-exaggerated apology, but he knew that would make it seem less genuine and would likely just tick her off even more.

So he replied, "Yes. I'm sorry for being a giant butt." He didn't stop to think about how backwards the situation was, and maybe that made him a fool, but in the scheme of things that didn't matter. He snuck a glance at Finley, trying to read her expression as he waited for a response.
