Blackfeather Woods Earth to Heaven

I'm assuming you meant 'wolf' instead of 'bat' in that one sentence... lemme know if I got it wrong!

Given what had inspired his decision to pull her tail, the boy took her response as not being serious. It was a game, perhaps, to him, rather than an act of aggression. He'd returned the gesture, then, nipping back at her as her reasoning for doing so was misinterpreted. In Xan's mind, that type of behavior had always registered as simple play, and nothing more. It was unlike the way in which he acted out against others—which was serious. Even though he'd taken it as play, his frustrations were not forgotten, and his mind was quickly set back on track. The need to get to the bottom of things, and ensure that her next meeting with Azul was either done with another at her side, or was never allowed to happen at all.

When it was explained to him that he was, in fact, jealous, he'd brushed it off. "I'm not jealous," he'd stated once more, but at this point he was only trying to convince himself of that. There was no way he could be jealous, right? It didn't make sense. Her next statements didn't make much sense, either. If not a wolf, then what was he? "Maybe you let someone into the territory." He was only fishing, he had no evidence to back his words up. "You'd probably be allowed to do that, so I don't know. If he isn't a wolf, then what? A bird?" And if so, why befriend a bird, of all things? It didn't make sense to him, nor did her words. It seemed like she was giving him the chance to keep her to himself, but in return, he'd have to share stuff with her. Was that what friendship was? "Nemesis is my friend... I think," the boy stated. So there, he'd had a friend before. Sort of, anyways. "So if I tell you things, you won't go to anyone else? You'll only be mine?" The concept alone was strange to him. Whether or not he'd even be able to tell her things, he didn't know, but wanted to at least try.
