Cole wrapped his arms around her tighter and placed a gentle hand under her chin, lifting it so she was looking up into his chocolate eyes. "Litu dloo, as much as you believe your beating to not be my fault, I believe this scratch isn't your fault." He leaned his forehead down to rest against hers. He raised a hand to cup her cheek and brushed a thumb against her cheek, his easy smile as genuine as the twinkle in his eyes as he looked into hers. He then rested his cheek against hers and held the embrace for a long moment.

But as with all things they had to end, and in his case with a growing cramp in his leg. He leaned back slightly and smiled at her. "We should probably get to moving, work out some of the kinks. Then maybe later we can work out some others," he said with a wink and a chuckle. He leaned down once more and kissed her gently, tenderly, lovingly. Reluctant to let her go he took a half step back, fixing the crutches beneath him, his easy smile creeping across his face.

As he did so Grey Wind poked his massive head into the tepee, brushing aside the flap. Seeing that Robyn was upright he immediately trotted over to her and pressed his massive frame against her legs, veritably begging for her to pet him. At this Cole laughed, weaker than it otherwise would have been, but containing the same energy. "Seems he really has taken a shine to you eh Litu Dloo. Cant say that I blame him," he said, mischief twinkling in his eyes.
