Maybe it's a dream

The wine, however brief she touched it, was getting to her. Lightweight she'd say later, but at the moment she was feeling giddy and foolish. "Are you suuuure you don't want to be a trader?" she teases him, batting her eyelashes at the man "because I think a few of our wolves will fight you for Seneschal." She laughed, recalling the warriors she had recruited. Tanelan and Beauregard... Both fine wolves. She had a feeling Tanelan had a soft crush on her but she only saw him as a brother-figure.

When he lay his paw on her, saying they were in this together, she stared up at him. Her mouth opened somewhat, feeling like laughing at this moment would ruin something. "Well, yes" she balked, wondering what had gotten into Mercury. If we can move past my embarrassing display of confessing, and apologies and other shit! But she didn't tell him this. She... didn't really know what to say. Maybe it was the wine talking. Gods, she shouldn't have drank two sips. It was getting to her "who else would I want?"

Oh shit.

"N-Not that way!" He made it quite clear he wanted to wait, to see what happened and... maybe he had other prospective females "I shouldn't say it like that. I meant... as friends. I mean, I trust you. More than most wolves here" Goodness, she was blabbing again "I'm making you uncomfortable again, aren't I?" She trailed off.

"Speech"
