Moonspear Madness fills my heart and soul

This was just a crush, he told himself. This wasn't his little sister falling madly in love with someone who was the same age as him, and from what she mentioned, it sounded like she liked more of what she saw, then what she knew. She didn't mention any personal characteristics, leading Bronco to believe that maybe she just found him attractive. That was alright, at least. It didn't sound like she knew enough about him to have really surrendered her soul to the idea of being with him. Maybe, in the end, she'd be satisfied just with looking at him; and that'd be it. 

"Do you...Hang out with him much?" He asked. He tried to keep his tone fairly neutral, so she might not pick up on the fact that a positive answer might potentially make him a bit nervous. Already, he'd begun to consider stepping in to get a better gauge on Atlas on his own. Sure, he seemed like a cool guy- but if he ever caught wind of the googly eyes that Meerkat was giving him, how would he respond? If there was any chance Atlas could or would break his little sister's heart...He'd want to have a shot at stopping that from happening- even if it meant pinning the guy to the ground and making sure he treated Meerkat with every ounce of respect that she deserved.
