All this stupid, cold white stuff. Allllll of it. Senka just wanted it all to go away. She did not like the cold, she did not like the snow or the ice. She sighed as she shivered and huddled against the back of the den and tried her best to stay as far away from the cold as she could. Why couldn't they live somewhere warmer? Or was it this cold everywhere. She surely hoped not. The gray and white pup curled herself into a ball as she wondered where her family was. Not that she particularly cared, but it was considerably colder without them here. Ever since her brother ran off to find their dad or something everyone had been scarce. She didn't understand Sora and his fascination with this brute she didn't even know that was apparently their dad. Frustrated over the lack of warmth and food to be found, Senka finally gave up and pulled herself to her paws before padding out of the den and into the snow that was piled up everywhere. Her paws left small holes as she drifted aimlessly, her purple gaze searching for someone, anyone really, but hopefully some family member. Speech Thought Others

He had decided to explore, taking leave and wandering away from his mom and siblings. He had found their father, and he was very excited! He wanted to tell someone, and so he had followed his sisters trail the way he had followed their fathers trail to the beach. He had gotten quite good at it, he was able to learn how to use his nose to track all sorts of things! His mother would be proud, or so he hoped. She wasn't too pleased when she had followed them to the island, but Sora had pleaded his case. Regardless, he would continue to be with his father...and he wondered if his sisters would be willing to. His nose soon brought him closer to the scent of one of his sisters, one he recognized well. Though he felt guilty that he had taken off without telling them or spending time with them. Perhaps now he could make it up, at least he would try. He clambered over unfamiliar terrain, the rocks smooth and some jagged underfoot. The snow made the surface slick, slippery. But he was careful, and soon he could see a den and in front was his sister, staring out at the world as if looking for something. Immediately his tail would wag, wintry eyes bright as he bounded towards her. "Senka! Senka! Guess what!?" He came to an abrupt halt once he reached her, affectionately butting his head against her shoulder as his tail waved madly behind him. A smile clear on his face, a sign of excitement at the news he wanted to share with her. "Speech"

Suddenly the silence of the snowy landscape was broken when the dark shape of her brother appeared. He came running up to her, though careful of the slippery rocks she noticed, exclaiming her name and a question. "Senka! Senka! Guess what?" He bumped her with his head and she returned the gesture, if for no other reason to let her brother know that she did indeed have some sort of affection for her sibling. Very little in the world seemed to interest the gray and white pup, but she did care for her siblings at least. A soft smile crossed her muzzle at his excitement and she replied, "What? What is it? I don't like guessing." She didn't have the foggiest idea what he was so excited about, but it must be important to him if he was this excited about it. What could it be? Maybe he caught something? Or he found a cool new place? Who knew? She waited for him to enlighten her and her violet gaze watched him curiously. Speech Thought Others
