She wasn't actually sure what she expected in way of reaction, so likely anything out of Fox's mouth would have taken her at least somewhat by surprise. But this simple question caused her insides to feel warm and gooey. "Yes," she said softly but immediately. Something about the query made her think of Floki and the events leading to their breakup. Her parents still didn't know about Goober and, if Wildfire had her way, they never would. "Floki and I broke it off and I went north. You could sort of say she rescued me, in a way. I'm happy." And wasn't that exactly what every parent wanted to hear about his or her child?

Wildfire paused, then embellished: "It's still new. It took me a while to even realize I had a crush, since I'd never really looked at another woman before." She bit her lip a little shyly, glancing up at Fox's face, those familiar gray eyes reassuring to her. "But I'm hoping to build a future with her, even have a family." If the yearling knew about her mother's feelings about bastards, they didn't even occur to her just now as she freely gushed about Thuringwethil.
