Autumn Weather

Drífa reached out a paw, claws digging into the earth. The ground was dry for now but it wouldn't be long now before the snow came down from the north. She could see a ridge of dark clouds on the horizon. Hopefully it wouldn't be a blizzard. A nice light snow would be delightful. She loved to watch snow fall in the moonlight while snuggled up in the warmth of her den aboard the ship. She had a nice circular window she could look through that didn't let in as much cold as a bare hole. The humans had at least a few decent ideas it seemed.

She looked up as she heard someone approaching. It was Winter, the new alphess. Drífa smiled. "Well enough, Winter. How about you? How are you finding the role of alphess?" It was a lot of responsibility but Winter seemed a bright, young lady.
