180 Degrees Double-drabble: Half-Wolf
Benton tapped his fingers against the cards, tapped the cards against the hard surface of Ray's desk, and disarranged the deck with another shuffle. He watched Ray watching Dief and wondered what Ray found so fascinating in the image of a wolf and a poodle lying down together.
Half-wolf, rather -- because wolves mated for life, but clearly Dief took after the domesticated side of his family on this issue. Perhaps living in the city was bad for him.
Benton tapped his fingers against the cards again and paused as Ray's hand came down over his. He could remember other games at this desk, other celebrations in the dark, and other hands covering his; when Ray said, "Enough gambling for tonight, okay? You've won all the air I got," Benton thought briefly, regretfully, of that other man named Ray before he caught Ray up and took his winnings in full.
