THE SUN IN YOUR EYES / pond digging

LIKE THE MOON SAYS TO THE DARK — The bedazzled bobcat found himself chuckling softly at Goldie's response, as well as the little comment from Georgia. Georgia was new, but the thief found that he didn't mind her presence, considering she seemed rather blunt with most people, but also wasn't so stuck up she couldn't joke around. It was kind of a relief, compared to the extremes that most crewmates tended to live within. Small tail thumping and swishing from side to side behind him, Michael snorted before responding to Georgia first, a crooked smirk on his muzzle, "Not quite. I tend to prefer locked up boxes... although maybe I wouldn't have to worry about my sister's tegus getting into my things if I buried them underground." He winced a bit as he still remembered one of Roxie's beloved pets breaking into his jewelry box and swallowing down a ton of his beloved collection. He hadn't been able to salvage most of it, save for a necklace from his fiance that he had insisted he get back, forcing Roxie to help him retrieve and clean it.

Turning back to Goldie, Michael chuckled before letting out a low purr, "I guess not... or at least I would hope not. A pirate captain should probably be pretty damn good at burying treasure." He then began to walk along the edge of the large hole, looking down inside before he muttered, "A koi pond would be pretty nice... would look real pretty to anyone going by, anyways." His ears perked up when Georgia offered to help with the digging, and the fugitive immediately felt a bit awkward. If she was going to help somehow, then he should probably offer to help in some way too, right? He shifted a bit on top of the sand before he spoke, a little sigh leaving him, "Don't know how much help I'll be digging, but I could grab you some rocks to put in before the water." He didn't particularly want to go digging in the dirt, especially considering Roxie had recently repainted his claws their current bright pink color, and he didn't wanna go chipping that away just yet. Otherwise he'd get pinned down by her again to have her do it over, and he really didn't want that right now. — WE WILL NEVER BE APART
