*clasps Bingo's hand gently in his own* I'll be in trouble when you get well? Then I'll use my best healing techniques for your pains and scrapes if that's your promise. *eyes twinkle merrily in the moonlight*

I'll not leave your side tonight, Bingo. Not at all...not at all...*voice trails off sleepily*
