Outside in the woods and by the lake, evening

[scots_wolf]

There is a big friendly dog rambling through the forest, followed by an equally big human (on whom the jury is still out in relation to friendliness).

Urquhart is spending much of this summer outside, walking with the dog, fishing, thinking, building fires to roast what he caught. There are nights in which he doesn't come back to the bar at all, sometimes several in a row.

Tonight is such a night.

Urquhart gets the trout (served with potatoes, parsley butter, and a salad) and the white wine from the rats, and sets it all on the table, pouring the wine.

He wants Moist to enjoy and like this. Is that really all that is to 'caring'?

"This looks wonderful. Thank you. Have you been doing a lot of fishing?"

[scots_wolf]

"Oh yes," Urquhart says, sitting down. "I've been outside with Franz a lot, fishing and hunting and walking and so on. This is, after all, meant to be Scotland."

[morethanprops]

"Ah, and that's what should be done in Scotland?"

[scots_wolf]

"It's what we do in Scotland in the summer," Urquhart says., grinning.

[morethanprops]

Moist isn't sure of a good answer to that as he's oddly reminded of his grandfather talking about how things are done in Uberwald.

[scots_wolf]

Urquhart sips his wine. He finds he doesn't mind the way Moist is quiet for a bit, busy with his own thoughts.

Hopefully not anything worrisome...

The food is good and Moist hasn't eaten for most of the day so he focuses on it, this seems decently comfortable.

He just hopes that Urquhart won't start going on about what he can do to help, that was awkward.

[scots_wolf]

Suddenly, Urquhart leans over and kisses him.

[morethanprops]

Moist smiles into the kiss, this will work.

[scots_wolf]

Urquhart sits back again, sips his wine, and grins.

Too much introspection and not enough kisses is probably a bad idea. After all, nobody ever cut open a person and found a soul inside. Or a feeling.

But touching flesh to flesh is real.

Later there will be more flesh to flesh, Moist is feeling rather more content and lots of sleep.
