His attempt at bolstering the positive side of her mood with enthusiasm didn't quite work as he'd hoped. She seemed pleased enough, but where was the gentle smile, the soft quirking to her lips, that always managed to capture his gaze? Instead his cheer was met with what came across as a half-hearted wag. He disguised his disappointment well; he'd just have to keep trying. "Do you think.. there is somewhere close to your den?" For a brief second his mind stalled and he froze. He then blinked, his gaze darting away. "Well, uh, yes," Valen's gaze returned and he cleared his throat, an action that completed his recovery. "You're actually laying on it right now. My den, that is." Tearing himself away from the rock, the brute circled to his left until he reached the place where the stone met the tree it was butted up against. The entrance of a tunnel that was just a smidgen too small for his frame was there, right below the fused rock/tree crease. Standing in front of it, he looked up at Rhythm. "So anywhere around here. Of course, if you want it, you can have it." He wouldn't mind moving out if it meant making her comfortable. |
NOTE: Valentine has a female striped skunk companion named Lefty. Unless stated otherwise assume she's present.
