Anais listened closely as Voltage responded to her question, wholly curious and trusting that whatever he had to say would help her in the long run. For having only met him once before, and for having only truly gotten to speak with him on this visit, it was surprising how quickly she had taken to him, and he to her. Like any of her blood brothers, she trusted that Voltage's better judgment would be used to aid her, that her secrets would not go any further than this meeting once they parted ways, that he honestly cared about her and her happiness. It was not the same sort of feelings that she felt for Glacier, not by a long shot, but there were definitely growing sentiments for the lightning-emblazoned brother of the steady glacial mountain.
The advice he offered sounded so simply, almost too easy. Brave it out. Could that really be all she needed to do? Was there not more that she should be trying, something else that she needed to say now that she recognized her feelings? Anais felt her anxiety and confusion return, felt it furrowing her brow and bubbling up words on her tongue, but Voltage did not stop there. With a voice that was as soothing as it was convincing, he promised her feelings were okay, that they were good in the overall scheme of things, and that Glacier would do nothing to harm her. At least not without answering to him for it.
His backing, his protection, was unexpected, but she chuckled even as he mentioned it in such a comical, easy manner. Glacier would not hurt her. Somehow she had already grown to accept the phrase as truth, grown to trust the giant blue wolf with her life on each outing she took with him, but could he? She understood then why admitting everything made her feel so nervous, so anxious, so frightened. If she owned up to her feelings but Glacier felt differently... Her golden eyes stared into Voltage's face, a question begging to be asked. Do you think Glacier likes me too? But was she ready to know? Did she even want to find out this way?
No. If something was there, if what she felt was true and shared between them, then she figured they could work through it on their own. She sighed, smiling instead, feeling lighter, more at ease even though her world had been opened up and turned on its head so much in such a short span of conversation. "Thank you, Voltage," Anais said quietly, sincerity coloring her voice. Though comfortable, she felt as if the words had deserted her, and she hardly knew what else to say beyond voicing her thanks. He had done so much for her so quickly, gained her trust and respect just as his brother had, and opened up her world further than she had imagined it could be. She liked someone. And she had a new friend that she could trust. It was far more than she had ever imagined to gain that day. "I feel a little better." The grey and gold wolf laughed just a little as she spoke, letting out another sigh. Yeah, she did feel better.

* 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.
