Horizon Ridge i could go backwards forever (attn: Dublin)

He gave a simple and altogether not too interesting reason for following Dublin: he missed her. Bristol's next comment made Pied's ear twitch as if she wasn't sure she'd heard correctly. She knew Dublin was a bit—actually, extremely—finicky about bathing. Her brother seemed to have a quirk of his own. Pied wondered if skin and coat disorders ran in the family... or perhaps they came from a place ridden with fleas?

Licking her lips and fighting the urge to back up a few steps—that would be incredibly rude—Pied tried to think of a tactful thing to say in response. Eventually, she simply repeated, "The itch?" and looked at him with curious, questioning eyes.
