Drunk spelled backwards is Knurd

Ferdie Von Pelt startled at her voice at if it were the loudest thing he had ever heard even though in retrospect it was fairly soft and gentle. He sprang up to all fours and wheeled around to face her, His eyes wide and almost wild.
Ame...
He closed his eyes and shook himself, a full good shake from nose to tail tip. Then he reopened opened his eyes, the kinder more composed Ferdie behind them now. He wanted to blurt out Ame I wanted to see you but I was afraid to, it's just that when I was with Hawkeye the other day and she told me that she wanted me to claim her as my mate I found myself thinking about you and now I'm confused.... instead what came out was I'm sorry for the state I am in, I had a rough day and I was hoping you would rest with me tonight.. Ferdie's heart sank... that wasn't what he wanted at all. But he didn't want to ruin anything that he might have with Ame either. He treasured her friendship
