Neverwinter Forest Where all problems seem to disappear

But she didn't get angry at him -- some sort of scolding was the response he was expecting from everyone, honestly. It was part of the reason he'd kept everything to himself, that even when Cupid had just done his drive-by with that particularly weighty bit of information and Mal hated himself he said nothing. At the time, though, admitting it might have hurt more.

But regardless of her current reaction, he was still pretty defensive in the way he talked, Nobody told either of us what someone's heat could do -- that heat plus sex equals puppies. Did anyone tell you about it? 'Cause it totally messes with your head, and you should like.. be careful if it was yours. The conversation he had with Zephyr was awkward as hell. He'd have it again with Simmik if he had to, but if it wasn't needed then he'd nope right out.

He shook his head, Nah, if you met him in person you'd see he's definitely a guy -- just smells wrong. Can't say I understand it, but it also would be weird for me to call him a chick. Which probably also explained why both of them were so bad at talking to each other if you went by stereotypes -- two confused dudes who were very not in touch with their actual feelings. Zephyr was actually like that too. But Mal thought his younger features made that less obvious, and not that it mattered if Zeph stayed gone.
