Twos company, peeping spirits a crowd

Thorn glanced at Ky curiously, once again finding the eye mask thing really odd.  “Uh, no?”  He stalled in his trek for a moment before continuing on. “Are you sure it’d be all that bad to take that mask off?  The sun isn’t that bright ya know.  It’s pretty out here, maybe it's worth taking a look?”  Thorn shrugged, a motion he imagined she’d not notice, “we can make a leaf pile later and I’ll let you know when it's time to leap.”

“Hibernate?” Thorn questioned the word he didn’t recall hearing before.  Had anyone said it?  The young wolf’s brows furrowed.  He was learning a lot of new things every day so it wasn’t impossible.  “I know things have been affected and lots of stuff is different.  It’s colder if you go outside the autumn areas so I guess so?” Thorn didn’t want to sound so much like a little kid to his older companion.  A whole season older felt like a lifetime at this moment.

“I think there are more prey about than before.” Thorn had heard someone mention that before so he repeated the fact, hopefully sounding more intelligent with that bit.  “What do you think?”
