Let's Go, Let's Go~

Walk | Talk | Think

Anais could see the little shiver that passed through Lior, as if it had traveled from her body to the pup's. Apparently she seemed to be putting things together as well, the dawning realization of what winter would mean for them beginning to take form and hold depth in her mind. "It is," the elder sister answered with a nod of her head, confirming what her young sibling had noted about the lake's temperature. She followed the girl's gaze to the lake, seeming so unassuming there, as if it had not tried to drown the pup the night before. They had come so close to tragedy; it really was a miracle she had gotten to Lior in time.

It was a great relief to hear the pup yet again promise not to take anymore unscheduled dips in the lake, and Anais smiled approvingly at her with a little wag of her tail. At the same time that she did not want to be the one protecting her sibling from the dangers of the water, she knew the girl needed to be exposed to them, to learn exactly how to swim and maneuver through the water so there would be no next time. And she knew just who could do that. "Maybe we can talk mom into taking you and Kailos on a swimming lesson," Anais suggested, and added quietly, "without telling her the whole story." If their father told her, there was nothing to be done about it. But just in case he kept it to himself...Anais did not want to go blabbing about it.

And just like that, Lior was already thinking beyond the unpleasant thoughts and warnings regarding winter and the lake and the dangers that they faced in the world around them and was instead voicing a new curiosity for Anais to handle. It took her a little while to figure out just where the mottled grey pup was talking about - tall, weird grass? - but eventually she got it and her confused expression smoothed into one of recognition. "Oh! The Thicket? No, I don't think so," she said with a little shake of her head, rising to her paws as her sister stepped ahead. "And I dunno if that's bad, but it does make sense. Everyone is free to go through that place since it's not home to a pack, so there might have been someone walking through." She seemed to consider her answer for a moment and found it satisfactory, adding only, "It depends on what kind of wolves were going through there whether it was bad or not."
