"Thank you."
Sheathing his sword, which had thankfully been carried in his un-hurt arm, with the scabbard at his waist, the mouse slowed down a bit to keep pace with Dengoro, if a little faster.

Dengoro kept himself behind Lars by a few paces. Perhaps it was some injury of the mouse's that he hadn't yet noticed, but Lars' gait was something he found himself unable to take his eyes off of. They were wandering about his body on their own and the skunk was left trying not to overtly stare; of course, being behind Lars, it didn't actually matter. "No... Problem."

"Are you staring at my rear end? Don't you see enough of it at the house?"
Without looking over his shoulder, Lars had that feeling of being watched, and figured Dengoro was staring at his rear.
"Come on... We'd better move a bit quicker if we don't want this injury to go bad."

"I'm following your pace," Dengoro sighed, not actually moving his eyes off. There was no point in trying to hide it, since it wasn't much of something he considered bad. He had no reason to be alert with their actual threat terminated. "If you speed up, I'll speed up too. I mean, if I did by myself... Looking is all I want to do."

"Or staring... Whichever you think would be more excusible... Not that I can blame you, I've caught Linx staring before..."
Looking further ahead, Lars could see the fort in the distance... About another ten minutes maximum beofre they got there... Which was about ten more minutes of sheer pain before they were a step closer to getting it fixed.

"I couldn't blame anyone," Dengoro breathed a tad heavily for comfort, even on his part. It probably wasn't just the walk that contributed to his heart rate. The fact that the mouse was wounded didn't really factor in on his imagination all that much. "You have an enviable body, Lars."

"You mean when I'm not getting my shoulder broken? You would not be wrong there... But this is mostly from years of working out... Not to mention I was apparently like dad when he was younger; Wirey and yet well built too."
Sighing, Lars keept an eye on the path ahead of them, as to not trip over any pot holes in the path.

Following Lars' past footsteps nearly exactly, Dengoro had no reason to worry about sticking one of his boots in a pothole. Slowly increasing his pace to put him a bit closer to Lars and perhaps prompt him to move a bit more quickly, the skunk's tail swished from side to side rapidly as he got a better view of that of the mouse. He had been planning on reloading his revolvers but those weapons would just have to wait in line. "Yeah," he sighed while looking down just a bit conspicously. "I see that. Very... Very well toned."

"Enjoying the view back there huh?"
Glancing up at the fort a head, Lars noted that they had covered about half the distance, which made his original estimate almost accurate, give or take a few minutes.

Dengoro decided to reload his revolvers anyway. It was taking a while, but at least he'd have something to pass the time that wasn't already right in front of him. However, it only took him about thirty seconds for each of them. The skunk spoke while doing it. "Well, I'm still getting used to the whole hairless tail thing. You mice are the only beasts I know to have a tail like that that looks any good... Rat ones are so thick and stiff, this is just... Neat. I know, I'm raving over a tail, oh well."

"I dunno... I like it when other beasts compliment me on my tail and my rear in general..."
Slowing down as he entered the fort's shadow a few moments later, Lars looked down the open gates and the road beyond them.
"Fairly quiet today huh?"

"You know, you're coping with a broken shoulder very well, I'd probably have tears streaming down my face," Dengoro commented dryly as he noted Lars' slightly accelerated gait. The mouse was definitely trying to suppress some pain, likely with conversation, and after a few seconds' mulling he decided to continue to speak. "Well, I was only talking about your tail. Which doesn't seem to thicken too much at the base, you must have a lot of fun with that."

"Sure, it hurts like hell, but failing hurts more, you know?"
Knowing what Dengoro was doing, and silently appreciating it, Lars kept talking.
"You could say that... But it's Archon and my sister who seem to have the most fun with tails..."

"Oh, come on," Dengoro grinned. "You've been in the house for as long as you have and you haven't actually tried that? I know, Archon and Ama do a lot, but I've dabbled some myself. Not with my own, you understand, I don't think a bushy skunk tail does it justice." It didn't do it at all. This particular trait of his own served only to flatter Lars further, if that were actually possible. "One like yours, though? Talk about merging."

"Only once or twice... I've usually been too busy during the day, and then too tired oa night to have any real fun..."
Streching his good arm, Lars shrugged on his good side, as to not aggrivate his other shoulder much more.
"It'll get pretty close, I can tell you that for sure."
