Fox's Glade Naive thinking.

His response seemed to calm her down, enough that she considered inviting him into her pack even. 
This came as somewhat of a shock to Howl. Not that the invitation was unwanted, but it wasn't exactly wanted either. It seemed that she liked his character which made him feel good, but he wasn't sure how to go about the question. He was getting into the mode of wanting to be in a pack, but still had things he wanted to do outside of one. Knowing that he had a place to go after that would be a good thing. "That's thoughtful of you. I'll keep that in mind. I'm not sure if I'm quite ready to join a pack just yet though."
