Ravensblood Forest the real kicker

Using her body language, the other girl declined. Fox was disappointed, and she made no effort to hide it. The redhead gave a defeated sigh, but she looked up when the stranger introduced herself as Ellie. “Fox Redleaf-DiSarinno,” the Beta replied. It was the first time she had introduced herself as such, and it sent a rush of warmth through her. She was Peregrine's, and he was hers. Or... half hers. The other half belonged to Lasher. Or did it? Fox was still a bit unclear on the rules of the thing, but she was adapting better than she had expected.

“Not into playing with strangers, are you?” she asked, direct and to the point, as always. “I find it’s a good way to get to know somebody, y’know?” But perhaps Ellie didn't want to get to know her. Maybe there was something wrong with her. Or maybe Fox was just making snap judgements. It wouldn't be the first time.
