Exx wrinkled her nose. Pretty. Not her, obviously. But smart! Exx knew she was very bright, and she took advantage of it constantly, out-smarting prey and other wolves alike. She nodded. But was she fun to be around? Was this mystery girl her!?
"Sh sounds lovely." This was making her go insane with curiosity and hope. Finally, she decided that she just had to ask. "What's her name?" She gave him a sly grin and blinked slowly, a rather seductive expression, though she didn't know it. |

Sparrow was silent for a moment as he contemplated how to answer the question. Would he take the chance and risk heartbreak or not? He sighed after a moment and decided to go for it. There was always the chance that it could completely mess up their friendship, but there was also that chance that she liked him too.
He gave her a playful glance and smiled before looking away again. "Okay, I'll tell you, but only if you guess," he said shyly, shuffling his paws cutely in front of him. "Okay, her name starts with an...E," he said. It seemed like an obvious hint and his heart was pounding so loud in his chest that he felt for sure that she could hear it, though the sensible part of his mind said that she couldn't. He glanced up at her, waiting for any sort of reaction from her.

Exx's eyes shot wide open at the sound of the letter that begun her name. It's me, it's me, it's me! She grinned, her eccentric green eyes shining like gem stones. But then again, it could be another fae. There was Eyelle. Eveline. She could have thought of more, but she was too anxious to find out who E was. She decided to play it cool.
"E...E...Elephant? Noo... Emerald? Nahh." She grinned. "Oh, I got it! Eyelle?" She shrugged, her face half hopeful, half scared to death. |

Sparrow laughed softly at her first suggestion and shook his head. "Nope aaaaand," he paused with an anxious look like he was about to say yes to Eyelle and ask what Exx thought, but instead shook his head quickly and grinned again. "Nope!" he said playfully.
He was on his side, poking her with his light colored paw everytime she guessed wrong. He could sense a bit of hopefulness coming from her and it made him feel good. Maybe she liked him back after all! But maybe she was just eager to find out who he had his eyes on. He preferred to think about the first option because it gave him the warm fuzzies inside.

Exx's tail wagged furiously. It WAS her! Maybe.
"Well, Eveline's a bit old for you, isn't she? But that only leaves one possibility...th-that I know of, at least." Exx swayed gently with the rhythms of his paws batting at her playfully. She closed her eyes, trying to hold back her glee. |

"And that possibility is...?" Sparrow prompted, nudging her with his paw once more before sitting up. The truth was, he was to shy to come right out and say "I love you, Exx!" which was why he was playing this guessing game. He gave her a small smile because he was sure that she'd caught on by now and she didn't seem to be rejecting him. In fact, he was picking up on her happiness and it made him happy to. His legs itched to run until he couldn't run anymore, but he would stay here with Exx if she wanted to rest some more.
"Well...?" he asked after a moment. He began to get a bit nervous and he reached forward to gently bump her chin with his nose as if it might produce an answer. He looked at her with his wide brown eyes, his tail moving slowly back and forth across the dirt and he anxiously waited.

Exx bristled with nerves, her heart beating ferociously against her ribcage. I never thought that I could feel this way Her entire being seemed to glow and her heart felt like it was singing. She would've had cheeks as red as fresh raspberries if it weren't for her coal-black fur. Emerald green eyes shone brightly as she looked over his features, searching for any hint of worry. He seemed cool.
"...Me." She narrowed her eyes as she whispered the word. Me. Me. It was easier to say than to believe. She'd have to hear it from him first. |

A huge smile spread across his white face and he gave a firm nod. "You'd be correct," he answered, actually sounding confident, which surprised him. He'd expected his answer to be meek and shy which was pretty much how he felt right now.
His blood roared in his ears and his heart raced and he waited for her response. His sureness that he would get rejected was slowly leaving him as time went on. His tail began to wag and his mouth opened as he began to pant, more out of contentment and nervousness than overheating.

Exx's ears shot forward and her tail began to wag ferociously. Her eyes sparkled a brillant green, unable to conceal her pure enjoyment. Her heart, too, raced, beating violently against her ribcage, and there seemed to be butterflies in her tummy.
"Wow." She stammered, for she was at a loss for words. She, who never shut up, went completely blank. Her mouth fell agape, staring into his warm, chocolate brown orbs. "Well," she said, finally finding words again. "I guess that's good because, I like you too." |

Sparrow hopped up, his tail wagging quickly back and forth. "Really?" he asked, his eyes shining happily. For once, fate seemed to be on his side on this matter. He was truly glad he'd found Exx at the border and had been able to make friends with her.
It was because she was nice to him, pretty, he greatly enjoyed her company, the list goes on. Then something popped up in his brain and he sat again. "So now that we've established that we like each other, what did you want to do about pups this spring?' he asked shyly, afraid that he might be asking to soon.

Exx's tail wagged fiercely. Pups! She bristled with anticipation, her instincts going rampant.
"I wouldn't want to have pups with anyone else, Sparrow." She inclined her head and touched the tip of his black nose with hers, locking her green eyes onto his brown ones. She had finally found her destiny. And it was Sparrow.
She whined happily and licked his muzzle, her tail wagging so fast that it looked as if it'd fly off into the sky at any moment. Was this for real? |

Sparrow bounced in place. "Okay then!" he panted excitedly taking a step towards the den entrance. "Let's go ask the alphas, then!"
With that he turned again and ran outside, stopping a few fox lengths to see if Exx was following him and then turning and running farther, finally having an excuse to get rid of his extra energy.
