She dabbed at her muzzle when she was finished and O'Mallory sipped her coffee, relaxing and enjoying the release of tension. “Always the carnivore,” she teased as her eyes drifted to the count down grease board with 42 days on it. A Neo Hyena entered. He was a scruffy being, red fur with black stripes from the mane running down his back. He was wearing a set of stained coveralls with one shoulder strap unhooked.

It's the equivalent of a kiss for Neos. “That's my wife,” he told O'Mallory with a cackling laugh. Numiria wiggled her ears and stroked her husband's cheek. “See you at dinner tonight?” he asked. “I'll try,” she said. Her eyes were soft and not quite firm in her answer.
