Mercianne stood back as Awaken worked on setting the long, tendril-like branches of the tree into place. It was curious the way he weaved the branches, drawing them together in such a way to keep the snows and winds out so much better than if they had just let them fall behind them as they passed inside. And as he worked, she could see that his method was sound. The woven branches that he had already tended to rattled slightly against the brunt of the bad weather, but protected the pair within from a majority of the flurries and icy blasts. She was glad he knew to do this. It would make their wait that much more tolerable since the chances of them being able to make it back to the pack's den were slim to none.
As he turned away from the branches, all nice and bound together behind him, and mentioned the young wolf who had led her to him, Mercianne's ears fell flat to her head, a sudden look of worry stealing across her face. Ithurial! She had been so worried thinking Awaken might have been attacked by Sixx again that she hadn't given the poor, frantic little thing a second thought, and now that she knew the pup was still out there in this horrid weather, possibly alone if she hadn't quite made it back to camp yet, guilt ate at Merci's stomach. "Oh," she murmured nervously, her head lowering as the weight of the pup's fate felt as if it was settling upon her shoulders, "I hope she made it."
Her thoughts still reeled thinking that something might happen to the pup outside in the storm when she heard Awaken suggested a game, some twenty questions to pass the time. Though part of her almost wished to dive right out into the storm and look for the pup, to properly thank her for leading her here, Merci knew it was a fool's errand. More than likely she would end up lost out there in the white out as well, just another to be claimed by the weather. She would have to content herself with waiting, and distracting herself with a game seemed as good a way as any to do that. "Sure," she answered with a little nod of her head as she came to sit near Awaken, her expression still worried as she glanced downward at the base of the tree even though she listened to whatever question Awaken might wish to start with.

Awaken thought to himself silently for a moment. Thoughts on their game to pass the time. His left ear folded to the side in thought while his other remained up. The tip of his tail flicking upwards every so often.?
The wind outside blew hard against the branches of the tree but it still sheilded them from the dangerous blizard. It wasnt much but they could survive here untill it was over. That is if they could survive the boredom.?
Awaken then thought of his question. "Is it an animal?" he asked for his first question. Dragging a claw through the dirt to mark the first of his twenty questions to guess what she was thinking of.

Awaken thought some more. "is it a plant" he asked. Trying to keep his mind off the pup that had wondered off. "ill be right back. Im going to try calling for her. he got up off his haunches, shaking the dirt from his pelt and stalked outside.?
He tensed up at the sudden bite of cold that nipped through his thick coat. The wind blowing strange patterns in it and flipping it every witch way. he tilted his head up in one of the loudest howls he could muster, hoping that if Ithurial hadn't made it back by now that she'd hear it.?
He perked his ears about to listen in every direction possible for a response. The cold white abyss offered no noise but wind, witch bit at his ears harshly. He sighed howling again and again. Soon it got too cold to do anything else or even stay out any longer.
He eased back through the branches, pullibg them back together and reassumed it spot by Mercianne. "I think she made it back.
