"Hmph." Hayden crossed his arms and grinned at Amos. "An unfair assessment. You keep taking me off guard." Now that the offer had been extended, despite the fact that the blonde wasn't exactly jumping all over himself to engage Hayden in conversation, the healer felt more comfortable in stepping closer, though he didn't intrude on the circle of books that Amos had constructed around himself. Instead, Hayden leaned against one of the bookshelves, tucking one ankle across the other as he gazed down at the omega, listening curiously to what he had to say about the book.
"What fights to let run their course?" Half-surprised, half-amused, Hayden shot a skeptical glance at the pages of the book. He wasn't sure whether or not to take Amos's teasing tone seriously. "Well, I hope you won't let too many occur, or I'll be worked to the bone," he laughed. He could easily imagine Amos soothing ragged tempers and raised hackles with that honeyed voice of his, and idly wondered what the omega's wolf form would look like.
"So then, tell me. According to pack law, who's supposed to mate with who?" The question started out humorously, the idea of some book deciding who would date who seeming funny, but Hayden's tone dropped midway as the realization struck him-- it was true that all werewolves belonging to a pack were expected to choose their mate from within the pack. Living among humans, he'd always figured he would meet someone who may come from anywhere in the world, or meet in the most innocuous of places, like a coffee shop... or a library. In fact, if he had met Amos at any time before today, he may even have been hopeful for a hint of romance to occur. With that flirtatious attitude, and those warm brown eyes... It was hard not to entertain a few thoughts of that nature, and Hayden could accept that he was attracted. But it seemed that in this new life he'd entered, things were more complicated than that. The healer blushed slightly and glanced to the floor, trying to look casual, though the demeanor had rather deserted him.
