Fox's Glade Naive thinking.

The male seemed to ease up sighly and eased his agressive stance. It seemed even more likely to Howl that these two were in the same pack or at least knew eachother, and with Howl's absence no harm would come to Valette. Zeke still uncertain about Howl's intensions continued by saying that Howl should keep doing what he was doing. 

Valette suggested that she and maybe the two of them, her and Zeke, should go back to their pack. She also mentionsed Howl's possible joining of thier pack, which Howl had previously said he would keep in mind. Howl felt a bit bad thinking that he would be the reason this female would have to leave the place he found her in. Even though it wasn't his fault really. "I thank you again for the invitation Valette and I hope to see you around. But there's no need for you to leave. After all you were here first. I don't want to be the reason your day is spoiled." he took a few steps back to let the male know through body language that he had no intension to make advances or further interaction with Valette other then maybe say goodbye.
