She didn't know why the thought surprised her. When Charon answered, she supposed she saw his point. Not unlike him, Wildfire was quite accomplished for someone her age. She had three trades (well, apprenticeships), which was more than most adults in the caldera could say. And Charon was absolutely right about her Outrider skills. She blushed a little, pleased to have her aptitudes recognized by someone other than family.

Did Charon mean his brother liked her like a friend... or was there something more there? Either way, it made her day. Suddenly, Wildfire was ready to pledge her allegiance immediately. Of course, she was still a sensible girl, so she caught herself before she could make any impulsive decisions.

Wildfire desperately wanted to ask the freckled male to clarify, though she felt a little awkward about letting onto her own feelings toward the sterling male. But, eventually, her curiosity burned through her hesitations. She tried to keep her voice light and casual as she asked, "When you say Floki likes me... how do you mean? Exactly?"
