Neverwinter Forest a game of turtle

For the second time in the past short while, Peregrine had stalled the typically smooth blue-nosed wolf, surprised him by the forward words he spoke, and for the second time also he stared blankly at his companion for a few moments. "Well you don't beat around the bush!" Luke chuckled. Slowly, a devious smile alighted on his lips, and he stepped toward Peregrine with boldness, meeting his companion's jade eyes with his of silver. Then he leaned in to whisper into the stalwart male's ear in a teasing way... a hushed "no."

Luke drew back grinning, and expanded on his answer. "I've been curious," he said, his head listing to the side as his gaze regarded Peregrine with an inquisitiveness that had not been there before, softly roaming the male's chiseled face and strapping contours with no effort made to conceal his gentle inspection. In a lighter, chipper tone he added, "But I've never had the chance to try it. Besides, I like girls too." So no, he wasn't gay.

But he was open.
