After dinner and shower last night, the walk through (checking doors, windows ect...) I thought hell check. Poof there the delivery was, sitting in the dark on the side porch.
As I brought the box in, setting it on the counter, I thought I heard a sniffle, so I opened the box allowing the warmth to penetrate, there sat the
smok XCube, looking up at me with lower lip sticking out and quivering with a tear rolling down, shivering from the cool night, the worry and concern in it's sleepy long traveled eyes was more than obvious.
I was a bit concerned, after all, it has traveled a long bumpy road.
I gave it the smile and wiped the salty tear from it's eye. Rest assured.
Walking away I did hear a big sigh and one last snorty sniffle, I was sure it fell fast asleep as it began that comfortable snore almost immediately, as I left the room, I quietly switched off the lights and closed the door behind me, leaving a small crack that the light should shine in, in case it awoke before I returned.
This morning , after taking care of normal morning things, I reached in the box, it held it's hands straight out to me, and those great big and bright eye's staring straight into mine, with that gracious look only meant for the beholder, eye's clear from tears, well rested, warmed from the chill of the night, and relieved to finally be home XCube was.
We are playing as intended at the moment, both gaining that satisfaction we waited so long for, together at last.
VERY nice work Smok!
