"Did you brake?" Amy asked, bending down so that her head was level with his. "Are you broken? Must I find someone to fix you?" She looked up, ears twitching. There wasn't anyone around. Oh... Darn. "If Carin is not broken, and can hear me, then... um.. twitch if you know what winter is..."

Cairn made a loud spitting noise, then his voice drifted up from the snow. "Well i'm not broken, just a bit shocked at what you did...not that I didn't really really enjoy it...and no, I don't know what winter is."

"Oh." Amy sat back on her haunches, her tail, which she now had, laying in the snow. How to explain. Ary would know, but Ary would never explain it to Cairn. Amy knew. It was one of the first things pups were taught. It wasn't something to be ashamed of in a wolf pack. "Um... Well, pups...."

"Um...pups?..." Cairn asked, wondering if that was the direction this was going.

"Yes. Pups are born in the spring and summer because of food. Normally, only Alpha's have pups, because of food, but here there is plenty..." Hopefully he would understand that. "Winter is the time before spring and summer, so it is the time when..." How had Eris put it? Oh yes... "... Me and Ary become 'tetchy'." She nodded. Yes, that was the word Eris had used.

Cairn didn't really know how he should feel about this. "Um...go on..." Was all he could think to say.

Amy nodded, she understood. Did he? "Tetchy as in...." There was a human word... she couldn't.... Ah! Oh yes... "...As in in heat." She smiled, for her, this was more finding the words for him to understand rather than a basses for embarrassment.

Cairn didn't really know what to do now. Had she really just said that?

Amy sat down in the snow, crossed her legs, put her head in her hands and stared at him before asking, "Does Carin still not understand? Did I say it wrong? Carin still looks broken..."

Cairn decided he'd have to go out on a limb here or they'd never get any further in this conversation. "So...you want me too...um...help you with that? Is that what you're saying?"

"No." Amy shook her head. "I am not human. Eris always said..." She paused, frightened. She'd just said Eris's name... No one knew... Oh dear.. "Um, that the pups might brake..." She looked sad. "She said that it would be easier for me to have wolf pups, because they might not brake...." Eris.... Eris...

"Oh...alright then..." A small part of him was relieved, although a slightly larger bit was somewhat dissappointed.

"But Ary..." Amy's ears dipped, and her tail, which had been waging, slumped. "But Ary will go too, and so I can not. We would fight. Ary would win." She shivered, at least he hadn't picked up on Eris's name. "So I must stay."

"What will you do then?" He asked curiously.

((That's another problem. Females don't tend to like each other much when they're competing... and, though Amy is stronger, Ary's smarter, and among wolves intelligence counts for a lot.))
