The medic in Bridget was concerned first.  Warmth could mean fever or illness, especially in the cold.  Then she was amused, playfully, because it seemed Teya was embarrassed?  She'd learned all about these things back home, and part of her job as resident doc was to inform others.  She hadn't expected to have to fulfill that here, with a friend! But didn't mind.

If you don't feel sick, then it might be your season, Bridget answered, no trace of embarrassment.  She was crass sometimes with the wolves she knew enjoyed that sort of talk, but she toned it down a bit here.  Just a bit.  It's when you become receptive to having pups, and when trying starts to sound really appealing.  She gave a little suggestive waggle, then burst out in a laugh.  No wonder you're finding a lot of prospects! Not that you wouldn't otherwise, of course, but that might be part of why you feel it so strongly all the sudden.

It wasn't a bad thing, though if she didn't want pups, she might want to be careful around men.  Ibis was safe territory, at least, and this was another bonus to Bridget's own preferences.  She had little desire to be a mother anytime soon; she'd never pictured herself in the role at all, to be honest.  Her vibe was 'cool aunt who takes us on rad trips every so often'.
