Acacia smiles, finally, as she reaches out to Virginia, like the smile of sinking into a hot bath for the first time after camping for a month. She steps into Dan's personal space to gently reach out to pet Virginia's face and neck, giving up her own personal space to do so.

But Bunny is momentarily stricken at Dan being cold and not being able to offer a warm arm for him to stand under. But he can keep his feelings off his face a little better than Acacia, so he sighs and waves a paw to Eileen. "G'day Eileen."

"I still don't like this," Acacia grumbles, even though she's about pulled Virginia out of Dan's hands to cuddle.
