[the duo continued their way until they found themselves in an area where there was a small stream running]
Peepers: Hmm, fresh water, good shade. I think we hv a winner here
Sylvia: :) Looks good to me, too.
Peepers: Alright, set up camp here it is [sets dwn his gear n pulls out his camping equipment]
Sylvia: (does the same)
Peepers: [sets his tent up] So I take it u n the furball camp out a lot
Sylvia: Yeah, he always enjoys camping where ever we can stop for a bit.
Peepers: A bit of a nature buff then, I see. Either tht or u guys can't reli afford to stay in hotels [looked at her teasingly]
Sylvia: Nah, Wander prefers the outdoors more.
Peepers: I see... [pause a bit] If u dont mind me asking... Wat did u do before u met Wander? I knw u hung out with ur ex Ryder, bt during tht time wat did u do? Wat were u? U knw, ur family, ur previous life, the works
Sylvia: ...I kind of...ran away, you might say... met up with Ryder and we did stuff together, which was all fun at first, but ever since...we had Tiana... things just faltered from there...
Peepers: U ran away? Why? Well, if u don't mind me asking...
Sylvia: Life just got boring for me at home, I just wanted some excitment...
Peepers: I see. So ur family is one of those "stay at one plc, nvr change" kind of family huh?
Sylvia: Somewhat.
Peepers: Why did Ryder separate u n ur girl? I mean, it's clear he didn't want anything to do with Tiana, so u breaking up with him n taking ur girl with u would be burden off his shoulder, right?
Sylvia: Like I've mentioned...he wanted payback, or something along those lines...:(
Peepers: Payback? Geez, u did him a favour, IMO. Didn't think him to be the petty sort
Sylvia: (sighs, trying to focus more on her tent)
Peepers: [looked at Sylvia n sighed] Sorry for digging up old wounds. I just...wanted to understand u better. I didn't mean to pry... :(
Sylvia: It's okay, you don't mean to...(hugs herself slightly) ;(
Peepers: [could tell tht she was upset] (think: Ugh, great work, Peepers. Now u've dunnit) [pause for a moment, then puts dwn his gear, walked towards Sylvia n hugged her frm behind, rubbing her bk] There, there, I'm reli sorry...
Sylvia: (sniffles, wrapping an arm around him, hugging back)
Peepers: [stayed like tht for a while, then felt something chilly dropped on his head] Wat the...? [looked up to see tht not only it was already nightfall, but it was actually snowing] Wat in the nine galaxies...?
Sylvia: (looks up) Wow...
Peepers: [started to shiver] Great, we better hurry up n get our tents ready. I do NOT do well with cold
Sylvia: Gotcha. (hurries to set up her tent more)
Peepers: [set his tent up as well]
[the duo was soon done, n after getting dressed in warmer clothes, Peepers went abt setting up fire, while Sylvia prepared the ingredients for the cooking]
Sylvia: Almost got the fire ready?
Peepers: [lay out all the firewood] Just one last thing [takes out his gun n blasts the wood, lighting the fire] Nvr leave home without it [did a cowboy gun roll n tucked it in his holster belt with pride]
Sylvia: Heh, showoff. ^^ (uses a pan to cook their meal in over the fire)
Peepers: Nuh-uh, I'm just good at wat I do n not ashamed to admit it [grinned as he sat by the fire] Wat r we having?
Sylvia: Lets just say an old family recipe. (sees his questioned look) Hey I may have run off but that doesn't mean I wanted some part of them still with me somehow.
Peepers: [snorted] Watevr u say, zbornak. As long as u dont poison me, we're good
Sylvia: (rolls her eyes amused)
Peepers: [looked up at the falling snow] Hmm, so hot during the day, n snowing during the night. Great, not exactly an ideal plc to conquer
Sylvia: (has finished up cooking their food) No kidding. (gives Peepers his meal)
Peepers: I'll just hv to give my survey to Lord Hater wen this is all ovr n it's up to him to decide whether he still wants this planet or not
Sylvia: Yeah. (sits next to him to enjoy her meal)
Peepers: [unconsciously sat closer to her for extra body warmth, then started eating] Mmm, not bad. Wats in it?
Sylvia: Well, there's beans in there, and a few special spices.
Peepers: Nice [ate some more] Do u usually do the cooking ard here wen u were with the furball?
Sylvia: He handles breakfast, while I handle dinner.
Peepers: Huh, I see [looked up at the falling snow some more] Did u knw it nvr snows bk in my home planet?
Sylvia: Don't get winter, huh?
Peepers: [shook his head] Our planet is more of the tropical kind. We get the rainy seasons thrice a yr, n tht's as close as winter we'd evr get
Sylvia: I see.
Peepers: Wat abt urs? Or tht furball's home planet for tht matter?
Sylvia: Mine's more of a rocky landscape. And Wander, he didn't really say much about his other then there's a lot of forest.
Peepers: Bt u've been to his home, which means u've been to his planet before. Dont u knw?
Sylvia: I wasn't there THAT long.
Peepers: Heh, I thought u did [chuckled] My bad
Sylvia: No worries. (eats her food)
Peepers: [sat evn closer now, reli not good at dealing with cold as he shivered]
Sylvia: (thinks a moment, using her tail to pull Peepers closer to her)
Peepers: [felt it, bt doesn't object as he basked in Sylvia's body warmth]
Sylvia: (smiles, keeping him warm)
Peepers: Heh, weird huh? Ur not a heat person, n I'm not a cold person. Ironic, innit?
Sylvia: Somewhat. (looking away a little)
Peepers: [thought for a bit] Umm... U knw, there is a function on my tent tht can combine two tents in one. If...ur not adverse to it... Wanna combine ur tent with mine n bunk in together? We could, well, u knw, benefit frm the extra warmth
Sylvia: In otherwords...sleeping together? (flushes) W-well, not THAT kind of sleeping together, but you know...!
Peepers: [blushed a bit] Y-Yeah, something like that, just for the sake of keeping warm...
Sylvia:...Sure, I can do that.
Peepers: Cool, I'll get our tents ready [went to his tent, removed one side of it n revealed some kind of ziplock tht combines his tent with Sylvia's, stretching it n fluffing it a bit before pitching it up to make it into one big tent for two] There, tht should do it
Sylvia: (nod) Impressive.
Peepers: Well, we better get it. Snow is getting a little heavy now
Sylvia: Yeah, let's. (enters the tent with Peepers)
