[Gorse withdrawls the touch when Kas shies away and doesn't mention it. Well, maybe a little later. Hope springs eternal, and if anyone needed a hug it was this kid.]

Since I got back. Was out on a resources mission earlier with a small troop, got back with a lot of daylight left, figured I'd make myself useful with it and just lost track of time. Carting branches around will do that.

[Gorse also tries to pace himself at the eating, even if he's a couple hours late for when he would have normally eaten dinner and is pretty hungry, himself.]
