"Come on, spit it out."

Her picked at the lily flowers at her hooves mournfully. "It's stupid. Really, it is. No big deal." She chewed on the sweet buds, avoiding Tuna's eyes. How was it that she was telling her partner less and less these days? She wished herself to believe it was the doe's abrasive attitude, but the little voice in the back of her head told her otherwise.

"Look, Her. It's torture to see you with your feathers ruffled this bad. Tell me what's up." Tunafish nibbled on a strawberry, her eyes glittering with unusual concern. The water lapped at the duo's hooves as Her reluctantly looked up to meet her eyes. "It sounds like I'm hooked on this, but...Renojack. He's what's up." Her friend didn't sigh n exasperation - She must be holding it in, she thought with a flicker of amusement. The navy-and-white doe smiled sadly at her in a romantic sort of way. "Babe, look. He left a message in the Otherworld two days ago. He's coming home soon, real soon. Aren't you satisfied knowing that?"

"But he might not come back to me anymore. Why would he?"

It had slipped out. Her sucked in her cheeks in embarrasement. The other doe looked positively astonished. "Why WOULDN'T her be?!" She opened her mouth to start ranting, but another voice popped up behind her. "Her, you have no idea."

Srila's wiry form plopped down beside Her. Martisol appeared on the other side. Both were smiling as if they knew a secret shared between them alone. Tuna grinned. "Why don't you tell 'er, girls?"

"You're beautiful."

"Poetic."

"Marvelous at what you do in the Otherworld."

"And a damn good singer," Tuna concluded matter-of-factly. Her smiled sadly. "Thanks, mates. You're real dolls. But I-" She paused. "I don't know. What if he found someone else in the Otherworld? He's away for months at a time. I'd never know." She bit her lip. Tunafish rolled her eyes. "Well, if he did, I'd rip his spine outta his mouth. You're a delicate little thing, babe. I wouldn't let that happen to you." She smiled and gave Her a quick nuzzle. Martisol and Srila nodded. "Don't worry, Her. He's faithful. I can feel it." Martisol kissed her on the cheek and trotted away towards the Ruins, Srila following after her with a quick goodbye. The two partners were left alone.

"You gonna finish those petals?"

"...Back off, fluffy-ass."
