Brenda
*Her boots trudged through the white sheets of ice as she made her way through the forest, snow crunching with every step she made. They were the only real barrier between her and the cold, but after ages of walking, she couldn't even feel anything anymore. It wasn't long ago that the Canifor had decided it would be best to find a more dependable shelter for the winter, having left the inn behind to follow Addie to the place she spoke of. Juna had hoped she would have been able to beat the snow, but luck didn't seem to be on her side as she found herself crossing her arms to contain what warmth she had. She was at least grateful for the meal and clothing before she left, but as time gnawed on, she began to wonder how much further was left to go. 

She couldn't imagine spending any more nights out here especially with it getting colder. Juna only hoped that they'd be alright for the Winter. At least Jace seemed to be having fun, bounding from one snow pile to another in a more puppyish way than she's seen him in ages. It warmed her heart and for that she felt the ability to continue.*
Luisa
*Addy could tell that Juna was becoming more tired and cold as time went on so she decided to reassure her that they were to likely reach her home by nightfall. She also knew that if she started a conversation, Juna would have something else to distract her. Little Azura was content riding in Addy's backpack as she for sure would have gotten lost in the snow had Addy decided to let her walk on her own* "So... What's your favourite dish?" *She decided to ask, so that she could cook her that dish when they reached her home*
Brenda
"Hm? Oh-"*Being caught up in the rhythm of them walking, Juna didn't realize Adeliza was talking to her.*"Well... I'm not too picky really."*She began, pondering over the fact that she would be fine with eating just about anything now. It made her think to bears with their sudden gluttony before hibernation. Part of her could see contentment in it if it meant she that she could skip over the winter with a full stomach.*"Steak is pretty nice..."*She commented, thinking to the bit of meat she always savored especially with the proper seasonings that she often lacked with her meals. Juna was no chef, but she could see why people preferred the extra flavor.*"I typically like Venison when I'm out hunting though."
Luisa
"Well luckily for you, I've got lots of those at home since my boyfriend typically likes those meats grilled with lots of seasoning" *She would say as she smiled at Juna and then took out two pieces of jerky for Jace and Azura. She would dangle one of the pieces behind her head for Azura which she would happily eat. She would then look at Jace* "Hey Jace~! Look what I've got~!" *She would say as she got ready to throw it and once he noticed it she would say* "Go get it!" *She would then throw it out in front of them so that he could go get it*
Brenda
*Juna wondered if Addie's boyfriend was like that of stereotype. Maybe a type of beastkin or just simply someone who favored meats. Seeing the jerky being thrown off, Jace had quickly dashed off in search of the free treat. Juna gave an amused shake of her head.*"He's definitely going to get fat this winter..."*She said with a laugh before turning to gaze back at Adeliza.*"Are you sure you're boyfriend is okay with both of us staying over for the winter...?"
Luisa
*She would giggle at Juna's comment about Jace and at Jace's cute behaviour* "Yes don't worry he'll be perfectly fine with it! We have a spare room anyways and besides, I won't be bothering him as much anymore since now I'll have you" *She would say as she smiled at her*
Brenda
*She'd give a tilt of her head at the comment. Juna supposed Adeliza has brought up her boyfriend typically being on his travels, though didn't couples typically occupy themselves with each other? The Canifor knew little of love, but even then it still confused her.*"Is he usually busy?"*She questioned. Juna could understand a person not wanting to travel in this weather. She didn't either and she was used to sleeping outside, not that being cooped up inside sounded particularly better to her but she was limited in choices at this point.*
Luisa
"Well typically during the warmer months, he goes to distant cities to trade and during the fall season, he goes to nearby villages but he typically likes to stay home during the winter season. Normally, we spend a lot of time together but I feel that I'm not always able to give him alone time since everyone needs that too" *She would say hesitantly as she always had an insecurity about her regarding this matter*
Brenda
*Juna gave a flick of her tail in response, seeing some reason behind her not wanting to bother her boyfriend during the time he was at home.*"Well what do you usually do?"*She asked curiously. From the sound of it, it didn't seem like Addie had much else to do staying in the house without wanting to disturb her boyfriend. Perhaps she simply made more clothing. Juna didn't understand it, but maybe there was something nice about the busying task.*
Eula
"Well I sketch new designs, sometimes I actually turn those designs into real clothes, sometimes I go to the village and play with the children there, sometimes I'll go swimming or I'll just sit under a tree and read"
Brenda
"Have you ever played in the snow?"*She asked, glancing up as her Jackal would gradually make his way back to them. One good thing about winter, the snow always seemed to make him look brand new with his dirtied coat easily washed away by the frozen water. His tongue hung out as he continued sniffing around Addie for more potential treats, his nose dwindling near her bag.*
Eula
*She would giggle at Jace's cute behaviour and instantly took another few pieces of jerky out of her bag before throwing them all out in front of them* "I have had a snowball fight or two but I do really want to make a snow sculpture" *She would say as she looked up at the sky to see the beautiful snowflakes falling slowly down around them*
Brenda
*With Jace licking up the treats, Juna would make a quiet click of her tongue for him to return back to her side. Giving him a pat on the head, she'd gaze up at the small flakes of snow falling down atop her head. She never really liked the weather that winter brought, but even then it could hold some beauty to it.*"You can... Make sculptures out of snow?"*She asked with a tone suggesting surprise. It was true that the Canifor never really did want much to do with Winter, but only now has she considered the things there were to do outside besides jumping into the snow and returning half frozen after.*
Luisa
"Yea I'm sure you can! Here, let me show you" *She would say as she gathered a bunch of snow into a snowball and threw it at the tree* "Just like you can make snowballs, you can make bigger sculptures" *She would say as she bent down on the ground and made a small blob that was starting to look like a wolf pup. Surely with more time, it could look really good but she just wanted to show Juna what she meant*
Brenda
*She cocked her head to the side as she watched Addy, a look of uncertainty crossing her gaze.*"Aren't your hands getting cold?"*Maybe Juna simply hasn't had as much wintry fun as Addy, mostly spending her time outside trying to hunt against the elements.*
Eula
"Well a little but I'll be fine" *She would say as she stood up and turned to face Juna with a smile*
Brenda
*Juna looked between Addy and the snow, stooping down to pick up a small handful of the white substance.*"It's... Not so bad actually..."*She commented, feeling the growing pains of the cold, though not finding it hard to hold nevertheless. Juna decided to toss the snow at a tree, it not traveling as far.*"Like that?"*She asked, looking back at Addy.*
Luisa
"Kind of" *She would say as she picked up a small pile of snow and placed it in Juna's hands. Then, placing her hands on top of Juna's, she would guide Juna's hands in forming the lump of snow into a ball* "Now try" *She would say with a smile*
Brenda
*Juna gazed at the ball of snow, rearing her arm back as she would throw it at the tree and cause the snowball to completely fall apart upon impact. She couldn't help the excitable wag of her tail at the sight of it.*"It's... Kind of fun actually-"*Juna said with a laugh.*
Luisa
"Well it's even more when you throw them at each other in a playful way however we aren't exactly dressed for that but we should definitely partner up against my boyfriend" *She would say with a bit of a giggle*
Brenda
*Internally, Juna wondered if it would hurt to be hit by the small bits of ice and snow. Perhaps she shouldn't be quick to assume with Addy's enthusiasm towards it. At least it was something to look forward to.*"Heh, I guess you're right..."*Gazing around, Juna decided to take a look at her surroundings as she found herself wondering just how far they've traveled.*"Do you know how much further it is until we get there?"
Luisa
"I think another couple of hours and we shall be there" *She would say with a smile as she began to recognize their surroundings* "Would you like to rest or have a snack?"
Brenda
"No no- I'm fine really..."*She said, bringing her arms to cross them so as to generate more warmth with the aftermath of the cold snow she had touched before.*"We should keep going... Wouldn't want it to get late again and still be caught in the cold."*While it didn't seem like night wasn't coming anytime soon, Juna didn't like the idea of dwindling too long outside without any guaranteed shelter close by.*
Luisa
"Yea that's a fair point" *She would say as she began walking again* "Once we get there, I'll make us some hot cocoa and we can sit in front of the fireplace. How does that sound?"
Brenda
"It sounds... Nice..."*She said with a smile, trying to picture herself sitting within the warmth. It got rid of the worst of the cold and at least now she had something to look forward to. She allowed silence to ensue as she would continue walking along the trail with Jace at her side.*"Thanks again for... Letting me stay with you guys... I know... We haven't really known each that long and... Well... I...Didn't want to ask too much from you guys..."
Eula
"You're most welcome! To be honest, I consider you a sister more so than a friend now" *She would say as she smiled at Juna* "I can't wait to spend more time with you!"
