Smile, it's the end of the world

There was a slight tremor to his hind legs as the last spasm shot through his body. Releasing Cascade's scruff, Valentine momentarily dropped his head so that the side of it rested on her shoulder. Between quiet pants his tongue rasped against his lips in an effort to rid his mouth of loose fur that had come free from Cas' scruff during their entanglement. After a few more heartbeats to recover he disengaged and moved to come alongside Cascade, and aimed an affectionate lick at her ear. All was quiet around them; the silence so thorough it rang in his ears. No one was around; no one was stirring. Neither sight, smell or sound indicated the presence or approach of another. Slowly he took in their surroundings, his eyes trailing over the long abandoned relics of a lost civilization. Row upon row of metal cylinders lined ones of the walls they were in and on the wall opposite was the same thing only in what looked like sculpted ice. The latter he recognized; there were similar (albeit mostly broken) ice containers in a gaping, rectangular cave in the Range. Not only that, but he knew from breaking one of those containers that food was inside. Interesting. Using his shoulder Valentine aimed to nudge Cascade's shoulder and direct her attention towards the walls of things. All of a sudden it occurred to him that Birna was still outside waiting. A ghost of a grin lifted the corners of his still panting maw and he leaned in close to Cascade to whisper, "We better go before Birna decides to come looking for us." Given their current situation there wasn't a whole lot of time to simply enjoy each other's company post-sex, but Valentine was having a hard time slipping back into an all business persona. The danger, the adrenaline rush, the sex; he was feeling pretty damn good. |
NOTE: Valentine has a female striped skunk companion named Lefty. Unless stated otherwise assume she's present.
