Daily NaNo check-in: nearing the halfway point of the challenge! 😀

Also, banter–

“I am not overly dramatic!” Lionheart scoffed.

“Really?” Kid asked.  “Do I need to remind you how you reacted when
you got that cactus needle in your hand when you were chasing that rabbit last
week?  ‘Right through my glove—it went right through my glove!’  It didn’t even break the skin, and you
practically held a wake for your glove!”

“First of all, they don’t make
gloves like these anymore,” Lionheart insisted, holding the wounded glove up.  “And secondly, I did not hold a wake!”

“Then what do you call immediately playing
something on your harmonica in a minor key?”

“…Cultivating my raw talent.”
