Blackfeather Woods From the ground up

Burke swallowed when Malice started to go in a very dangerous direction. They didn't need to label their relationship right? If it was a friendship or something much more? The male was pretty okay with leaving it vague like it was now. Luckily she seemed to change topic while Burke's brain was still over analyzing what she just said. He had a feeling she was lightly crushing on him, but that was just... a compliment. If it was something more then he would... What would he do?

Kendra was a bit curious, but she was not vile or evil. She was a bit like Cicero, yet different two. But he could imagine that the two would get along pretty well. Burke nodded slowly. "She is, but, it makes her who she is." Burke was proud of his daughter, even though he was not sure he could trust her anymore, or if someone was keeping her from visiting him. Did she even know what went down? Burke let out a long sigh when Malice agreed with him. "We will have to see for ourselves. I hope not, this was such a great pack." His relationship with them though was ruined.

Then Malice returned his question in a way he did not expect her to reply it. Burke's eyes widened a bit. It was not at all what he had been meaning with his question. He had other ideas with that, but now he looked back at it, he realized that Malice was already trusting him with his life, he was her food provider. The large male looked a bit startled. The way she looked down and looked flustered. Was this... A love confession? He could not deal with this right now, could he? If he would mate her or even confess something like that to her, then it might make things even worse if the others would find out. He was not sure if he could even trust Malice. Was this all a trick?!

Burke seemed to have encountered an error in his brain. For once not knowing how to respond. He could just brush it off, but then he hurt her feelings, and well, he did care for her, otherwise he would not go such lengths to find food. Did he love her? God, maybe he did. He was reminded by Bullet (Osprey's) words, how love happened and you were lucky if you survived. That damn female. How did she knew all those things. She was probably gifted or something. They talked about things before that and then later it would actually happen. Curious. Burke let out a shaky breath. Did he trust her too? He did tell her about his past, bits. But he did tell her, that was the first step right?

The male glanced over Malice. He wanted to keep everyone away, so he wouldn't get hurt again. If he opened his heart to her that he might get hurt again. Especially if they were trapped here and the brotherhood--- Instantly he changed his mind. He chose her before, he wanted her close. "Good. That was all I needed to hear," he spoke sounding a bit collected again, but his troubled face was something that Malice probably had seen. There were at least feelings there.
