Sunbeam Lair There's the eternity I was looking for

She was an animated sort, and Phoenix found himself laughing at some of her exclamations, even if it was completely morbid. "Awfully nice of you to talk down jumpers and scour for waterlogged corpses. I think you're my new hero," he chorused, his muzzle wrinkling with mirth. "Today was probably my most useful day, actually." This set-up was most obviously meant to rapture her, and he peeked from the corner of his eye to make sure he had her attention. "I culled the rabbit population (they're taking over around here, and we can't have that), and I made sure the creeks wouldn't overflow by taking on some of its burden. I also saw this poor patch of browning grass here and thought I'd give it a nice little reprieve from the sun by laying on top of it."

He beamed with false enthusiasm, waiting appropriately for Wraen's false praise on the matter.
