I have always felt very comfortable telling you things. The hint of a smile played on her lips. She wasn't sure why or how he had managed that, but she was grateful to have him in her life.

Do you think you would be attracted to someone who was a man on the outside as well as on the inside? she asked, her tone only curious. He had been wondering whether or not to consider himself bisexual, and she thought answering that question would be a good place to start. And She would make a note to ask Zephyr more about this—some day in the future when tensions wouldn't be so high. She assumed he would not be up to talking much to her right now or any time soon.
