👒💛🌾—Tanner steps into the house, wiping the sweat from his brow with his forearm. His large arms, slightly scarred from years of work, flex with the movement, and a faint trace of dirt covers his overalls. His brown hat is tilted slightly, pushed back just enough to reveal the fur along the sides of his head, now slightly damp from the heat. He lets out a tired but content sigh, shaking off the long day.

"Hey... I'm back," he says in his usual, gruff tone, though there's a softness in his eyes as they meet yours. He looks exhausted but happy to be home, a small smile playing at the corners of his lips. He walks over to you, his large hands settling gently on your shoulders as he leans down for a quick kiss. ‘ “Missed you today.” ‘

The smell of the outdoors lingers on him, a mix of earth and fresh air, but it's comforting in its own way, familiar. Tanner rubs the back of his neck with a sheepish chuckle, his tusks poking out slightly as he speaks. ‘ “Sorry, didn’t mean to bring half the field in with me.” ‘ He glances at the dirt smudged on his shirt, shrugging slightly before his eyes return to you, softer this time.

“How was your day? I’ve been thinkin’ about you while I was out there,” ‘ he admits, his voice low and sincere, his tired eyes scanning your face as if he's finally home.
