He'd been dreaming peacefully when the sound of bird song roused him from his dreams. His eyelids slowly slid open as he blinked groggily. A yawn slowly slipped past his jaws and he looked around momentarily to see what it was that had woken him up. His eyes slowly adjusted to the light streaming in to the den before he noticed the birds hopping around outside of it. He watched them peck in the snow for a moment before flying off elsewhere to find food. His eyes blinked a few times more as he slowly became more awake before he peered around the den. His mom was already gone for the morning patrol it seemed. The large male slowly stretched out and enjoyed the pull of his muscles before he rolled on his stomach and shook his head. Feeling better he glances around the den again and his eyes rested on the rainbow colored female that had begun staying with him. His mom had explained that she'd found her at the borders and couldn't find her parents so Rory found it easy to accept her into his life. He hadn't really spent any time with her, but he was also unsure of how to approach her. His mom had also explained that she didn't speak english very well either. That would make thing complicated but he was determined to get to know her. He rose to his paws, silently to make sure he didn't wake the rest of his siblings, before pausing by Jewell's sleeping form. She wouldn't be mad at him for waking her up, right? For a moment he paused, unsure if he should just go wake Kairi instead and do something with her, before he shook the thought out of his head. If she was angry he'd just let her go back to sleep, but he wouldn't know until he woke her. Slowly he reached out a paw to poke her side before whispering to her. "Hey Jewell, you awake?" Walk, "Talk" Think

She had fallen asleep last night with her form as close to Faites as she could get without sleeping over the top of her real kids, manning she kind of got the outside. That was okay though it meant Faite had to step over her and wake her up if she left for her line walking. Though this morning found Jewell inside late this morning, unusual as she tended to try to follow Faite everywhere until she got bored. That usually didn't take too long though, two hours tops. She lay sprawled out on her back with her tongue out the side of her mouth as she twitched in her dreams. Dreams of running through fields and French everywhere was what she usually dreamt and last night was no different. This position had the fur on top of her head pressed flat and some backwards. The prod at her side had her groaning and rolling over with a yawn. She turned her half lidded and still waking up eyes to the form of the one who woke her and with a sleepy tone answered him. "Oiu?" Her grogginess had her forgetting that her adoptive family spoke English and not French. Her fur stuck up in every which way and her left ear was flipped backwards as if she had had a good tumble with another pup. She glanced around for Faite after a second and upon not seeing her gave a slow blink. There was confusion in her eyes as she looked back at the male Kairi. "Où est maman? Marcher les lignes déjà?" Walk, "Talk" Think

Okay so a sleeping Jewell would have been pretty funny if he still wasn't nervous about waking her up he probably would have laughed. He couldn't help but find amusement in the fact that her tongue was hanging out of her mouth as she slept on her back. He didn't get to enjoy the scene for long as she rolled over with a groan. She greeted him with a sleepy tone and yet he didn't understand the word she spoke. He was still kind of surprised considering her fur plastered every which way that it didn't belong and the tired expression on her face. The one thing that he was looking for though was anger about being woken up and, thankfully, he didn't see it. And then there was the ear plastered backwards, and the fur still, and finally a grin broke out across his face. His ears flicked backwards for a split second as she spoke in that strange language that he still couldn't understand. It wasn't the same one as his mom had been teaching him so there was nothing for him to relate to. He stood with a fair amount of patience though as he waited for her to get her bearings. Faite was still working with her so she learned the common tongue, right? She just had to be too sleepy to remember he didn't speak her strange language. "I'm sorry Jewell, I don't understand." Walk, "Talk" Think

It took her a minute to fully wake herself, even with the male Kairi standing there. She gave a yawn before she sat up and stretched. Her ear was starting to feel funny now that she was awake enough to notice, so she gave her head a shake before using her paw to fix it by running it through her fur backwards until she caught the ear and flipped it. His apology brought her attention to him fully, seeming to gain her bearings enough to remember to try to speak English for him. "No apalogizes, Jewell apalogize. Not mean speak French again." she probably sounded retarded to him but she was trying her hardest and so focused with her words that her eyes went to her purple nose. Her orange ears stuck out to the side with her focus. English was definitely harder than French. She finished speaking and looked back to him with a grin that said how proud she was to of succeeded in communicating with him. She looked at the sleeping forms of the other kids for a second before she got a bright idea that the male Kairi could do her English lessons with her today and that they could go walk Faites lines. Though that could also end in playing with the way her focus went. "Boy Kairi do lessons and walk lines? Mom Faite not mind, Jewell sure." she stood then and shook out her pelt to try to flatten it, though some still remained laying the wrong way. Walk, "Talk" Think
