sometimes quiet is violent

Avella could remember a time when things had seemed so uncertain for her. How scary it had been to have to figure it out on her own. It allowed her to sympathize with Clouse and understand how he must be feeling. There was one thing she envied him. He had herself and Scully to help him through this tough time. She hadn't had anyone else but now looking back she didn't really regret a moment of it.
In the time she'd spent away from the ridge she'd learned to rely on herself. It helped to become an independent woman who didn't need anyone. Still it was nice to have her brother back with her. She did wonder if he'd always be at her side.
Her mismatched gazed turned on Clouse as he asked about winter. "I don't know how it will be here," she admitted, "But I can tell you its cold, sometimes very cold. There's this white stuff that falls from the sky like rain. Its called snow and it covers everything. Its cold and wet and balls up in your fur. Food is scarce cause the prey has gone somewhere else or disappears for the winter," she stopped there to think if there was anything she'd forgotten.
