"She knows you're different now.  They always do.  She'll be cautious now but she should trust you.  Her mate might be a whole different story though.  He might view you as competition."  She had to laugh as the pup cavorted toward him, bumping Blake's hand with his head before nipping at his fingers to entice the man to play with him.  The girl pup wasn't far behind, wanting her fair share of attention as she headbutted Blake in the thigh.<br/><br/>The more she watched the interaction between the man and the pups, the more she wanted to be involved too.  So without so much of a word, she parked herself right on his lap, giving a little wiggle as she got herself comfortable.  She leaned back into his chest and turned her head to press a kiss to the underside of his jaw.  Satisfied with the affection given, she focused on the pups in front of them.  The girl pup was her focus, letting her chew and gnaw on her fingers, giving a little high-pitched yip when the play bites got too rough.  Finally, she gave a gentle push to knock the pup onto her back, laughing when the little critter tried to jump on her shin and wrestle it.<br/><br/>She glanced back to see if he was enjoying this as much as she was, this whole pup playfulness.  A brief thought of what it would be like to have a family of their own flashed through her mind, a simple thought but one that made her cough with the suddenness of it.  They hadn't yet defined what they were and here she was thinking about the future.  She managed to swallow any more coughs but was completely unable to stop the flush from rising in her cheeks.  To cover, she snagged the female wolf cub and buried her face in its side, trying desperately to hide the heat in her face in any way she could.
