The yellow marked wolf could only laugh and chuckle over and over again at the way she was responding to him, though it was not the type of laughter to make her self conscious or nervous. In fact, it was gentle, good-natured, and reminded her strangely of the sort of laughter Glacier himself would make at times, as if he could not have been happier to be anywhere else but in that particular situation at that particular moment. It was amusement, yes, but also appreciation. She found she could tolerate it easily, and almost smiled herself at the cheerful sound of it.
Whether because of the gesture Voltage had made or because she was slowly growing more easy in his company, Anais reclined and seated herself across from her friend's brother timidly. Her thoughts were still on his revelation, that somehow she was, as he had put it, "melting" the icy mountain of a wolf, when he pointedly asked her another question and completely caught her off guard again.
Like Glacier? Of course she did. He was fun to be around, and so kind, and he was not off put by her changes between timidness and excitement. He was patient and gentle and made her feel safe no matter where they were. Of course she liked him...but she had a feeling it was a little more than just appreciating his company.
Was that was Voltage had meant? Was it the deeper kind of like? The like that...bordered on bigger and greater things? She grew embarrassed again, felt the color return to her cheeks beneath her fur as she thought of it, and, managing to meet Voltage's eyes with a look that was nervous, answered softly, "I think so." It was close, right? What she felt for him? At least close enough for her to think that maybe she did as soon as he asked the question. Maybe that was why she kept feeling as flustered as she did now as Voltage brought it up. Maybe that was why she could hardly stop herself from smiling when Glacier came to call on her. Maybe she did like him like that after all.
But would Voltage keep her secret?
