Nolan gets to hang out in the hospital for another day or two and my apartment is too quiet. I also think I'm starting to get on Nolan's nerves being around all the time. Do you want to come over and hang out? I'll make you dinner and we can play something. I have Octodad: Dadliest Catch and want to try it on co-op mode.

[Rocky smiles down at her, his hand drifting up to cradle her cheek for a long moment. It almost seems like he might kiss her...

But instead, he leans forward and nuzzles her forehead, a quiet, lupine growl rolling out of his chest, deep and soft and wholly content.]

It's what pack is for, silly bird.

[ Charlie leans into his touch some, eyes almost closing. There's her own sign of contentment, a faint hum that lasts only a second as a slow smile spreads across her face at Rocky's growl. ]

And I'm part of your pack?

[ This is kinda surprising, never mind the fact that he's said it a few times already. ]

We have exaltation's. That's what we call our loved ones, the people we consider ours.

[ She's quiet fora moment, thinking over how Rocky's presence since everything went south had been soothing and settling. Steadying. ]

You're part of that.
