She was not sure what she expected as she revealed the little secret that even she had not been fully aware was forming inside of her. It was nerve wracking to say the least, telling another of her feelings just as she was finally acknowledging them herself. Not to mention she was nervous it would somehow make its way back to Glacier, and she was not at all ready for that. But Voltage seemed to lose a bit of his teasing edge, his expression softening almost into something kinder, sweeter, more understanding. This was what he had hoped for all along.
Her breath that she had not known she was holding breathed out of her in a quiet sigh, feeling as if somehow she and Voltage were on the same page. He approved of her friendship with his quiet but steady brother and, she understood now, approved of even more than that. It was more than she had ever expected to get from this yellow-marked sibling of her mountainous friend, and she was incredibly humbled by it.
But his approval came with a warning. Glacier did not come alone. Just as she had her family, he did as well, just as close, if not closer, than she was to her own siblings. She could understand that, respect that, and was glad that there was someone else in the world who enjoyed those types of close relationships. They seemed rarer than she had first thought.
He was ready to welcome her into their lives, even before their friendship became anything more, but his words triggered more in her, a sense that she needed to come clean too. "I have strings too," she admitted nervously, shrinking a little more where she sat, "brothers and a sister, and a wolf I adopted as my son." It had never seemed to matter before - her family had been tolerant and accommodating of her new adventures, and Glacier had not shown any ill favor toward them - but was it possible they could pose a problem? Would what she felt never get any farther than it was because of them? Doubts that had never been there before were suddenly clouding her mind, and she wondered how close to true they actually were.

* Because he has become her protector, Glacier is allowed into any and all threads that Anais may be in, regardless of how they are tagged.
