This may make me weird too, but if he had licked her hand I would not have found it to be weird. Now, Avina might have freaked out a bit, but it probably would have been fine. She would have stiffened and acted uncomfortable like he does when she gets close, I do not think she would have pulled away. She would have been too afraid to pull away. lol. The tattoo makes complete sense! It was a design his wife had made and he had it tattooed in honor of their first year of marriage. ^.^

Brice will follow, yes. And maybe a few of the younger ones. I think it will be Kiel who will be the leading rebellion for multiple reasons. It will give Avian and Devin their own little pack/clan. It will make the story interesting!

If you think the moment is right to have him kiss her, then do it! I have no problem, and I am sure Avina will not wither ;). I get the feeling you have something up your sleeve, I can't wait to find out what!
