Keezheekoni shook her head. "I didn't mean it was a bad thing." she whispered. Her eyes watched him carefully. She sighed. "Of course there's someone out there, you just haven't found them yet. Or at least from what I've heard..." she trailed off when she realized what he said. Her cheeks turned a deep red. "I...You...Yes..." she stuttered, looking away. Too nervous to do anything else.

"I'll help you get used to it." Pepper said smiling a little and kissing him again.

Alaska watched in silence and took a few steps back "what should we do?" She nickered quietly to Camel.

She watches this all quietly then says, "I'm going hunting," she said, "I'll come back with dinner." She leaped upon Midnight and ran off.

"What?" Ratonhnhake:ton asked standing. "You said yes did you not?" Backing away from her now. "You should feel that way, it's not right."

July smiled at her. "How are you going to do that?" He asked backing away from her some.

Keezheekoni's cheeks burned a deep red. She hesitantly nodded a yes. She sighed at his reaction. "Don't be such a child." she sighed. Her hands grabbed her blanket and pulled it around her tightly, sitting up. "Why shouldn't I, you can't help who you have feelings for Ratonhnhake:ton." she said more confident than she felt.

"It's dangerous to love me." Ratonhnhake:ton warned her. "It's not good for you and it's not good for me." He said turning his back to her. "I can't stop you from liking me I know but be warned, it won't end well."

Keezheekoni looked at him confused. "Sit down before you fall please." she said gently. She shook her head. "Why is it dangerous? Am I not good enough for you?" she asked even more confused. Not having a clue why it wouldn't end well.

"It's not that it's just that everyone close to me seems to get hurt in someway." Ratonhnhake:ton said looking back at her. He walked closer and helped her to her feet. "Truth be told no one has felt like that towards me."
