Little Goat Mountain and now it's only you that matters

Arlette's eyes were only on Kaito. He was the only one that had her full focus. Her body was feeling warm, and the snowstorm definitely forgotten. She kind of liked that Kaito had never done this before, either. It made her feel special. No other wolf had ever sparked such feelings within him and she secretly loved that. It made her more self assured that she might be special and not just some girl. She still felt a bit flustered knowing this, but very flattered.

She nodded when Kaito spoke. Courting sounded very official already, and very nice. She wouldn't mind getting to know Kaito better and spending time with him. She nodded. "I would really like that," she nodded and wagged her tail excitedly over her hocks. She leaned forward and licked him over his muzzle. "Is that courting too?," she asked. She liked that they were exploring this licking and showing affection. She had seen her mother give Greyback little licks. Or see them groom each other after a big meal. "I don't need to think about it, silly," she chuckled. "I'd like your idea of courting."

So that was what they decided. Arlette was all warm and fuzzy inside and from what she could assume, Kaito had been feeling the same both flustered at the admitted honesty. The female hoped that taking the ice out of his fur and staying close to him had also saved him from hypothermia along with admitting feelings to one another. This was the first time she really helped someone by just using common sense. Taking the cold away from him by using her own body heat and biting the ice away where needed. That was one other thing she could add to her list of things she learned.
