Sometimes I can be nice

Raissa explained that she had joined the Blackfeather Woods pack but it was quite dark and gloomy. Fitz nodded in sympathetic understanding. "It's a shame you didn't join us. Then it'd be bright and airy all the time!" Fitz was kind of taken aback by the words he had just said. Did that mean he didn't mean them? No, he sure did. He kind of wished Raissa was in the same pack.

Trying to cover what could possibly be described as flirting, he hastily extended an invitation. "Why don't you come walk with me? I'll show you around the Redhawk Caldera lands and you can tell me how the Blackfeathers came to win you." What was up with his mouth?! Once again something vaguely flirting and quite unexpected escaped but this time Fitz just let it roll.

What's a boy to do except pretend it was all planned and intentional?
