Winter Puparations

Geoffrey was so lost in thought that when he lifted his eyes to look at Caelia they remained a little foggy and distant. While he didn't realize he was doing it, the tip of his tongue was poking out of his mouth just a little. This silly and befuddled expression was apparently his 'deep in thought' face.
The boy was slow to rouse but after a beat his eyes focused, his ears perked up and yes, his tongue went back to where it belonged. Perhaps Caelia would know how to prepare for winter. She was smart and thoughtful; surely she'd know something about winter that he didn't. "Oh, hiya, Caelia!"
"Well," he took a deep breath and prepared to launch into a detailed explanation of where his mind was at. "You know how a bunch of the grown ups are running around trying to do stuff before winter gets here? And they are uh...kinda worried about it, I guess? Well, I'm trying to prepare for winter too. It's gotta be a big deal if they think it is, right?"
He frowned down at the dirt for a second before peeking back up at Caelia and admitting sheepishly, "But...I don't know what winter is like so I don't know how to prepare."
He only had the faintest idea. The boy knew it would be cold and that there was this stuff called snow, but he had never seen snow. He didn't know what it was like or what it did to the ground or how freakin' cold it had to be for snow to even happen in the first place. He was imagining what it was like at night when his toes got a little chilled, only instead of it being only chilly at night, it was chilly all the time. Little did he know that the cold that came with winter was a good 20x the cold he was thinking of.
"Maybe you can help me prepare. Do you know what winter is like?" He padded over to a shallow hole in the ground that was no more than a handful of steps away from where Caelia was. Geoffrey motioned to it, then said, "I was thinking about digging this pretty deep and storing important things inside it. Like...uh, I don't know. Hides, maybe? Or food if I could keep it from going bad. Maybe dried plants for injuries and sickness and stuff." The boy shrugged. "And you know that fire that the one pack guy has? Or maybe its a girl who has it?" He thought about it for a second, but couldn't pin down who exactly had the fire, so he glossed over that detail and carried on. It wasn't relevant to what he had to say anyway. "Anyway, someone has a fire and I think I want a fire in our den too. That way we can all stay warm."
Okay, okay, so he was getting a bit rambley. But Geoffrey was genuinely concerned. If he stopped to think about it for a second he would have realized that his mother probably had everything covered, but the boy was too focused on what he thought was a very important task to consider the bigger picture. In his mind, he needed to be prepared. He, an independent man, not he, Geoffrey, the pup who still lived with his mother and siblings.
All this thinking was making his head hurt just a little. Hopefully his sister would be able to brainstorm with him and come up with some good ideas. She was pretty smart; together they'd be able to tackle this problem as well as any adult would!
OOC: Eeeee 603! Sorry it's a rambling mess but I was trying to get as many words in as I could haha
