"Well it looks as though we're going to be companions for the rest of this train ride at least, so we don't have to worry about being lonely right?" He smiled warmly at the boy beside him. It was then that he realized just how close they were. His eyes widened a bit but when Benny didn't move away, he relaxed. He watched as Benny acted as though he was going to say something and then decided not to. When he saw him bit his lip he couldn't help but grin. He was just so cute when he did that. Stop it! He's going to notice you staring in a minute and then you're going to be in some trouble.

"Well would you look at that. Lira must really like you." The small orange fox had fallen asleep on Benny's lap. Looking around, Nic saw the scattered hay and leaned over to grab some of it up. He began making a small nest, big enough that Lira could be comfortable and let Benny move around if he needed to. "Here let me move her over here so she's not in the way." Nic gently scooped Lira up and placed her in the nest. She shifted a bit and then went right back to sleep.
