Old friend, come share a tale

Meadow had some hard times apparently in figuring herself out, admittedly a problem Outlaw had a hard time imagining however she’d also seen many good things. As long as she had found happiness and moments of enjoyment then what more could be asked for in someone's life? Outlaw happily listened to her tails. A nomad tribe didn’t sound like a bad idea at all. Roaming about the land with friends instead of staying in one spot. Outlaw nodded at appropriate moments to show his clear attention but still remained quiet as not one to interrupt a story.

“Woah!” Outlaw responds at the mention of Meadow being with Resin. So, in death, you aren’t even alone. “Not really dead as in you stop then, just like another type of life that I guess doesn’t end. That really is great then.” Eternally with family so, Meadow had definitely found a good way to uh, live, uh in death, however that worked.

Outlaw bobs his head at Meadow’s question a grin, though a bit weaker at her question, “Yup, sure did. Actually had some times that weren’t all the fun.” It was a crazy concept in his mind but true! “Even some rude wolf that wanted to attack me just for going on shore.” Outlaw shrugged, “but that’s hardly the ‘fun’ story so best we get that out first!

“Hmm… best story so far. Well, I ran into a ghost. A real friendly one, so friendly it hugged and kissed me and wanted to hear stories!” Meadow got a chipper grin at that, “you got to admit, telling that to others it sure will sound like a best tale!”

“Oh!” Outlaw thought up finally, “had some sort of large bird actually stolen my hat! Now, that might not sound good but the chase to get it back was quite fun. It apparently had a notion of using my hat for its nest in some fashion. You shoulda have seen that nest! It was as big as I am! It was there trying to stitch it into its sticks when I jumped ‘onto’ the nest! It supported me!” It had been somewhat squish, absorbing his paws but held all the same.

Outlaw sat up so he could wave his paws as if to emphasize the size of the nest before setting them back down. "Now, I grabbed my hat and ran, ya know that big ol’ bird started chasing me! Bird chasing a dog, I don’t think it's supposed to go that way but it was a big bird! Anyway, then I jumped into a lake and swam down so that it couldn’t get to me. Saw all sorts of animals under the water and some things that weren’t animals. Some stuff I think was there for ages, I don’t have a name for them. I spent some time out there just checking out what was under the water.” The story was perfectly real, lacking the tall tale part he often used for fun. He didn’t see any need to exaggerate that story!

“And you bet Meadow. I’ll be sure to meet your daughter. I’ll let her know how you’re doing and that you’re with family. When she’s older, if I see her when she’s getting on then I’ll let her know that she has a family waiting on her over there too. Not till she’s older though, doesn’t sound great to say your dead family’s waiting to see you at her age.” Outlaw grinned, “I’ll tell her some fun stories, and about us.”
