Wink wink.
He aaaaaaalmost flinched when she reached out so suddenly. Almost. But he didn't, because Salariel Caine was a manly man and manly men didn't flinch when girls wanted to touch their chest bats. Instead he nodded, smiling softly when Gemelli wiggled against him.
"He likes when pretty girls pet him."
"And such a handsome mountain you are." She should be shot for encouraging him. But there was just something endearing about this kid. Maybe it was because he reminded Mia of herself when she had been that age. Constantly flirting with boys and snogging. Oh yeah lots of snogging.
Mia couldn't help but grin as her finger came into contact with Gemelli's soft furry head and she gently petted the little bat.
"A bit like his owner." she said straightening up and giving the lad a wink.
"So where are you from? I mean where did you go to school before?" Or did he even go to another school? Maybe he was like her and had been homeschooled.
