Delta paused, putting a hand on Hal's chest to stop them as they listened. Ears perked up and angled forward slightly. Eyes gleaming mischievously.
"Wha-" Hal started, before being quickly hushed by a hand darting over their mouth as the other Hearthian turned to them, raising a finger over their own. Before tilting their head to listen again.
"Okay.." They whispered, pulling back.
"What were you doing?" Hal could barely hide the smile from their voice as Delta stepped off the elevator. "Listening for Tuff, obviously!" Delta chimed in response- before furrowing their brow. "Or Gossan, I suppose. Or any of the miners really."
"Or Gabbro?"
"Or Gabbro!"

Hal yelped as they were sent flying, spinning through their air.
Hal leaned back, feeling their stomach lurch in slight discomfort as Delta drifted above them, hands on their shoulders. Eyes gleaming as Hal reached a hand up, cupping their cheek as they tilt their head. Their eyes drift close as they leaned forward..their heart pound in their chest, their face growing warm..they could feel Delta's own lips growing closer..
"Dang..I feel a little left out."
Hal's eyes shot open. Lips still puckered as their gaze darts towards the new voice. Delta's eyes lighting up as they fully turn their head.
"Gabbro!"
The Astronaut leaned against the cave wall with a lopsided smile, bending their knees and launching themself up, into the now extended arms of their partners.
