Rain winced and looked down. Uh oh... What should I tell her? He didn't dare give the actual reason; but if he lied, Rei might be angry with him...
He studied a pawprint on the ground, pretending that it was somehow fascinating. The loner's thoughts were churning frantically.
Um... That's, uh, true..." Rain would have willingly bitten his tongue off at that moment. True that it's not the whole truth? You're an idiot.
His gaze flickered back and forth from Rei to the ground. "Um... It's because I, er..."

Rei could see how embarrased and uncomfortable he was. Her heart leaped. Maybe, just maybe, it's because he likes me... she couldn't help thinking. SHe smiled encouragingly at him and said "Go on, it's ok, I won't be angry."

"Go on, it's ok, I won't be angry."
That didn't stop Rain from being really, really nervous. What if she just laughs at me, or tells me to get lost? I'd die...
His gaze flickered back and forth from Rei to the ground. With each passing second, he looked more ill-at-ease.
"All right, fine," he said, ears flattened nervously. I guess it would be better to just get it over with.
"It's because I thought you were beautiful, and I didn't want the Kavari to hurt you..."

Rei froze. It took a minute for his words to sink in. "Oh." She said, her brain scrambling for words. "Uh... thats... very kind of you." SHe shook her head slightly, clearing her brain. She suddenly felt hot under her fur. She looked away. "Well, i'm glad you did, because then I got the chance to meet you. You're... different than any of the other wolves i've ever met." Oh, how do I say this? She thought frantically. She'd never been this flustered before.

"Well, I'm glad you did, because then I got the chance to meet you. You're... different than any of the other wolves i've ever met."
Rain blinked. Is... she saying she... likes me, too? he shook his head, disbelieving. It couldn't possibly be like that. he must be interpreting her words the wrong way.
That was fairly easy to do, because he was only half-listening. Most of his brain was caught up in watching the moonlight shimmer across her pelt...
The loner shook his head like a dog trying to shake off water. Focus, idiot. He looked away from Rei, concentrating on the grass instead. "Um... That's very nice of you..." he stammered.

Rei took a deep breath and steadied her heartbeat which had gone wildly out of control. "I'm sorry, I'm not saying this very well." She murmured, looking into his eyes. She had to look away before she drowned in their depths. "I... um... I like you. A lot. And... I want to get to know you more." The words sounded strange on her tongue. Is this what love feels like? SHe thought giddily.

"I... um... I like you. A lot. And... I want to get to know you more."
OH. MY. GOD.
Rain's eyes were as round as the full moon that floated in the sky above the two wolves. I... I... I... He literally could not think of anything.
She... likes me?! She wants to be friends...? Before he could stop it, the grey wolf's tail was wagging frantically.
"Well... um..." he stammered, "That's... that's wonderful!!!!"

A grin broke across Rei's face when she saw how excited Rain looked. He's so amazing. She thought. Unthinkingly, she stepped forward and pressed her fur against his. Then she realized what she was doing and backed off. "Sorry." She stammered, her fur growing hot. I can't love him. She told herself, despite the scraming of NO in her head. He's not in my pack... it would never work. But at the same time her head was filled with the sweet scent of his fur, making it impossible to reason.

Rain's fur tingled as Rei brushed against his side. He grinned happily at her, then blushed and looked back down at his paws. What am I doing? She's a Kanaran, from a pack. I'm a loner. It doesn't work. But all his justification could heal the small shard of hurt that lodged in his heart as the wolf leaped away.
"Sorry."
He blinked. "Um... That's okay..."

Rei realized in dismay that her actions hurt him. But... how? the thought in confusion. Did he like it when she touched him? Just like I like it when I touch him... she thought giddily. Her legs trembled, and she felt like she was going to hyperventalate. She took a deep breath and loked at him. SHe took a step closer to him and said "Look, I know I'm a Kanaran and you're a loner but... who cares? If we like eachother it doesn't matter... right?" She blinked as the words all came out. Did I just say that? She though. Frightened, she waited for his reaction, thinking feverishly Please agree!

"Look, I know I'm a Kanaran and you're a loner but... who cares? If we like eachother it doesn't matter... right?"
Relief washed over the young wolf in a tidal wave. She doesn't mind that I'm a... loner. An enthusiastic spark lit up his eyes. "No, it doesn't matter." He wagged his tail, grinning and hoping that he didn't look like an idiot.

A rare smile broke across Rei's face. "Good." She said, releived. "Because even if it mattered to you, it doesn't matter to me." She stepped forward and pushed her muzzle into his fur, inhaling his scent. For once, she felt free of all burden as she lost herself in bliss. So this is what love feels like? The mused silently.

Rain shivered slightly as Rei pressed her muzzle against his fur. What a wild night this has been- a hunt, then a fight with an enemy I thought was vanquished long ago, now... love??? He shook his head helplessly, and rested his muzzle against Rei's. Sure, what happened was weird, but I can't say that I mind.

The fur on Rei's back lifted slightly as Rain rested his muzzle next to hers. SHe shivered pleasurably. This isn't half bad. She thought happily. This was the first time she had been this happy in years. I guess I just haven't ever stopped to smell the roses, so to speak. She thought to herself as she leand against him. Glancing up at the sky, her shoulders fell. The moon was starting to go down. "It's getting late." She murmured, though she didn't move from her position by her side.

Rain nodded slowly. "So it is." For a second he was silent, watching the moon move slowly across the sky. The silvery orb was reflected in his dark eyes. "Your pack might be getting worried about you," he said reluctantly. He didn't want Rei to leave, but he also didn't want another wolf to catch them here. Where has that other wolf, the little one, got to? Did she go back to their camp?
