Sometimes I can be nice

Fitz found himself watching as Raissa stretched - watching in a way that he had never looked at a wolf before. FitzDutiful was a few months away from becoming able to help create pups but it appeared the urges that brought upon the creation of puppies were just beginning to manifest. Or perhaps she was just the first wolf to interest him that way.

"Of course," he replied as she echoed a question and they set off walking across the Caldera land. Fitz avoided leading her up to the top, though, and they instead walked around it, heading more to where his den was. "So what did bring about your choice to join a pack - and how come the Blackfeather Woods?"

Maybe there was no good reason other than winter was coming upon them and now was a time to be a pack wolf instead of a lone wolf. Maybe, just maybe, there was another boy in her life. It was better to find that out now.
