The house came into view, and he heard Fooler whinnying at him -- complaining that she hadn't been let out to run with him. He grinned, and shook his head. Fooler tended to complain when he came out half an hour late, or cut the run short -- Fooler would only be happy when Levon was out at the crack of dawn and stayed out with her til it was too dark to find a decent spot to sleep.
Actually, that didn't sound half bad. Maybe he'd take vacation time and do just that, someday. Not any time soon -- their day off today was just one bright spot in a schedule of too many open cases. But Levon headed towards the barn, and took both Fooler and her breakfast out to the corral. Breakfast quieted her complaints, though he promised her to go out again, later, once Joe was awake to join them.
Then he headed for the house, changing back to human form as he walked up the porch step. Long as he'd run, he hadn't run very hard -- anticipating plenty of exercise later -- so he wasn't in need of a shower. He considered heading for the kitchen to brew some coffee. Wasn't like he needed it to wake up, though, so he headed for the bedroom instead to check on his partner.
He found Joe lying under the blankets in exactly the same position he'd left him in. With a grin, Levon snuck around to Joe's side of the bed. Joe opened his eys and smiled.
"Morning," Levon wasted no time crouching down and collecting a kiss.
"Morning." Joe inhaled deeply, and stretched where he lay. "Enjoy your run?"
"I thought you were asleep."
"I was. I woke up a few minutes ago."
"If you just woke up, how do you know I was gone long enough to be out running?" Levon teased.
"Where else would you be?"
Levon grinned. "How do you know I wasn't in the kitchen making breakfast?"
Joe laughed. "So where's my breakfast?"
"Didn't make any for *you*," Levon countered. "Reckoned you'd be asleep til noon."
"*That* sounds good. Bed til noon." Joe rolled onto his back and closed his eyes. Levon watched him for a moment, then stood up to leave him to it. Joe opened his eyes again. "Where are you going?"
"Going to let you sleep."
"Did I say I wanted to sleep til noon?"
Levon stood still for two seconds, before deciding that answering him out loud was a waste of breath.
