Don't Understand

Alna would wake up to the feel of her mother's touch. She only knew that her mother was stressed but by what the pup didn't understand yet. All she really remembered that could be the cause of it was having to get up from such a wonderful nap in the den to being cold and not doing much better out here. The young one would do her best to return the gesture as she would move a little closer into her mother's body to try and stay warm while taking in the sun's light. The young voice would speak up coming from Alna, "We won't get to see uncle Bass?" her voice light and sweet still maintaining the innocence of a young pup. Alna understood that their father was doing all he could for them which was why he wasn't with them right now but she didn't fully grasp what it all meant.

The young girl would slowly sprawl out and stretch before rolling onto her belly to stand up. The water here was still and she could feel her mother's gaze follow her to the edge as she would attempt to get a few good laps in to quench her thirst. Feeling slightly better from the cool liquid that flowed down her throat Alna decided to move by Noen's side and curl up beside him and Nona. Alna began to speak again hopefully to help Noen feel better, "I love you, En" as she pressed her face into her brother's body a little before pulling back with a small smile.
