She blushes a very noticeable pink. "T-Thank you b-but....I-I can t-take care of myself...." She is clearly flustered now, which is rare.

"I'm sure you can," he said softly noticing her blush now and the way she was flustered "but I'll always be there if you ever need help," he then gently let go of her hand and drew her into a hug.

She hesitantly hugs him back, not used to anyone other than Nova, the pups, or the pack caring about her well being. "thank you Ace....y-you don't know how much that means to me....."

"I don't know, I think your voice tells me how much it does," he said pulled away from the hug and winked at her, smiling broadly.

She groans and covers her face with her hands. "Annnnd now you're being a jerk and teasing me....."

"Am I now or are you enjoying this," he teased softly smiling at her as a beginning of a blush started to show on his face.

She groans again as she falls back onto the grass, still covering her face with her hands. "Stooooop." Obviously neither confirming nor denying what he said.

Ace smiled and lay down beside her and teased "you know you get flustered easily," another wink "is that because of how handsome I am?"

She shifts to her wolf form and tackles him, speaking in mind-link. 1) I only get flustered occasionally. don't think this will become a normal thing. and 2) yes you're handsome, but that alone wouldn't make me blush. I have been around packs of only hormonal men. I didn't even blink at them. except for handing them their a**es.

"No need to be angry," he whispered squirming out of her grip before turning into his wolf form, a russet wolf, and tackling Amiera, pinning her down, put it was more like he was cuddling her then trying to pin her down.
