Blacktail Deer Plateau I'd Rather Not

Fox listened as Kisu spoke of Amelie. The way he stumbled over his words made Fox pause to consider just what kind of relationship he had with this girl. The fact that she was younger wouldn't have made such a thing odd, for Fox knew that age mattered very little beyond a certain point. Fox was but a yearling herself when she had taken a liking to Njal who was four years her senior. Peregrine was older than her as well, and although she did not know Lasher's age, she doubted he was a youngling. Not that they had anything together, but the possibility was most certainly there, and Fox was unlikely to refuse it.

Her suspicions were only strengthened when he spoke of her eyes. It reminded her of the way Peregrine would wax over how pretty she was. Fox had never understood it, although she did have to admit that it was flattering. “Why don’t you ask her?” Fox offered, “How she feels about you, I mean.” It seemed a natural step for one as bold as Fox, though she did not realize it was too brash for some.
