Everything was going well enough Kit supposed, in that the male turned out to be more of a relative, then a potential rival for Fleta's affections. That was at least soothing to the male's worries about needing to compete for the joy of waking up beside the pretty female he had been traveling with. Then things started to get edgy again, starting with Shadow's crossing of his arms, and beginning to act a little strange about the revelation that the two were mates, or at least to his story of them being mates.
It felt like the larger male was sizing him up, or weighing him, a not so pleasant feeling when Kit was well aware that he would not have fared well against the larger male, at least he didn't believe that he would. As though hoping that Fleta would talk Shadow out of fighting him, Kit turned his gaze toward the female, and tried to non-verbally ask for some sort of help. He wasn't a fighter, and the last thing he wanted to do, was get beaten down in front of Fleta, the one he had fallen head over heels for.
Paying more attention to Fleta, he noticed that she seemed embarrassed, and it didn't take much effort for Kit to believe she might be embarrassed by his straight forward declaration of them being mates. Upon hearing Shadow's last few words however, Kit saw the opportunity to try swaying the conversation in a different, less confrontation direction, and took it "We've been having fun traveling together ya, a few adventures here and there.". On a whim, Kit tried moving closer to Fleta, and nuzzling at her face in an affectionate manner. Possibly a mistake, with the "big brother" around, but it wasn't like not seeing things would change the fact that they happened, or so Kit thought.
