Her reply was not as awkward as he had imagined, but he was forgetting who she was he supposed. Vesper was not one to blubber all over herself, and whatever weakness she might feel she always seemed to hide well. But being her friend, Helotes could tell that despite her snide slight at him, the thought of rumors did bother her to some degree, and in the face of his friendly accusation she spilt the beans that the whispers were indeed founded. She mentioned the red head and he laughed, Hey, I like them too! And then he laughed in a way that only a coyote could.
The girl then draped her tiny frame over his playfully and nipped at his ear, affirmed to him that she was indeed his superior and not doing very well at sounded convincing. He lift his jaws to snap back at her ruff, Yeah, yeah, whatever. And a warm chuckle filled his throat as he laid he head back down into the grass.
Helotes was very happy, and a soft smile graced his lips as his gaze fanned out into the emptiness of the day. He was a lucky man, to have a lover who now carried his children, and friends like Vesper who he could be comfortable with. He also had his family close, Jacinto and Ilusion were always mingling around enjoying their own lives he imagined. Not many were as blessed as he, and for a moment he believed that this might be how the rest of his life was going to play out.
