Sinya
A tiny bella padded along in the darkness,heart trembling and alone. Her thin listeners swived franticly on the top of her dial, listening to the things around her. She looked to her side expecting the reassurence of her dame, but there was nothing. The space was empty, she was gone to the winds. She knew it wasn't wise considering she had already had a cougar chase after her on the way here, but a small lonley whimper hummed from her vocals. Finding a crevess she pushed herself inside as if it had suddenly became a den. Turning her back to the night she tucked in shaking body into a ball of fur, whimpering lightly to herself.

Snowy huntress approached the canyon, the cold not even penetrating her thick coat. She was wandering for sheer pleasure. She was loping along at a good pace when nose twitched at a new smell, harks perked at a new sound: a whimper, of fear, cold, and lonliness. She folllowed her nose to the little crevass, and spoke to the little one crowded inside. "Don't you think it might be a little warmer if you scoot over and let me in? We could keep each other warm and safe then." She was careful to use her voice and posture to reassure the frightened little pup. She smiled quietly, carefully, and waited her answer.
Sinya
The bella's fine haired listeners twitched twitched at the murmur of vocals. One golden pool opend then slowly the the other. With a peak over her silver haired back she could see the outline of the lupine faintly against the dark. Her small dial gave a something of a nod as she moved to make room for the fae in the make shift den.
Liseli
She had really only spoken in such a manner because she could see the pup was freezing, and that the small one would not readily accept help if she did not include herself in the "need". Smiling again, she moved her warm bluk into the little den, curling round the pup to keep her warm, waiting for the poor thing to stop shivering.
Sinya
Unsure at first the pup just lay still unwilling to make any movement at all, but the warmth beside her seemed somehow too tempting. The bella stirred quietly and curled up againgst the fems, snuggling in tightly. Thank you was a soft whisper in the air form the Bella's vocals.
Liseli
Wolfess let a soft smile come upon her maw, and erplied, "Thanks is unnecessary. I am repaying a debt, doing for you that which was once done for me. Everyone should have that second chance. I should think that, since you are alone, you either have no parents or have no idea where they are." She looked back on her own lonely childhood, her own mother dead, and remembered how she had felt.
Sinya
The pale Bella lifted her dial and after what seemed to be one very long silent moment, she murmured
They-they were killed. Humans. what else needed to be said to understand? a few simple words was all it took. They called me Sinya she added before going quiet.
Liseli
She nodded, and nuzzled the lonely pup for comfort. "Sinya..." and she paused, trying to think of words. "Young one, my parents died when I was no older than you. The alpha of our pack adopted me, rather, but I still missed my mother. One night he caught me whimpering to myself, lonely, and he asked me why. I told him that I missed my mother. He lifted his head into the wind and said, 'She is never far. You see her eyes watching you in the stars. You can hear her howl, if you listen to the wind." She nuzzled the pup again, remembering it like it was only yesterday. "Listen to the wind, young one. listen well."
Sinya
The pup's listeners twitched, as she sat her dial on the fems frame she stared out the little opening of the crevess as if trying so hard to hear something...
Liseli
She watched the little pup listen, auds perked as she listened as well. She remembered well the time she had first listened. A low howl on the wind, or was it in her heart? She often wondered if what her alpha had told her had little to do with the wind and more to do with how deeply she believed him. To the pup she said nothing, however, nor gave any indication of her thoughts. You had to believe for it to work.
