Surra appreciated the touch of Thistle's nose to his shoulder, it helped him relax a little. He had felt slightly foolish in admitting his feelings, but her reaction helped soothe him. He nodded as she first spoke, knowing that he would indeed learn from it, somehow. He didn't quite know how yet - but one day, surely he would.

"...She was not mean to you was she, because i will gladly tell a woman to mind herself if she is being fresh and doesn't take another's feelings into account." Surra let out a bit of a laugh at this. "No, no, I don't think she even knew," Surra explained, wondering if he should name her or not. It could be harmless - but it could also cause some unease. He doubted anything particularly bad would come from it, as long as Julooke never found out (or, at least, not for a long time), since he never made a move on her.

Still, his ears flattened in a bit of embarrassment as he continued. "She uhm... She has a mate already. Which I found out before I had acted upon my feelings, thankfully," He added quickly, so Thistle would know that he had not intruded on their relationship. Then, with a sad smile, the grey-brown male murmured softly, "She has been nothing but kind to me."
