Sharon
"Just now, yeah." *He said quickly as he reached his arms out again*
Warner
"Then what about when you shivered just a short while ago?"
Sharon
"That's what I was talking about"
Warner
"Hm alright if you say so" *She'd say as she crawled back to him*
Sharon
"Come over here please" *He said as his tails wagged*
Warner
*She'd move to sit on his lap again as she snuggled against him* "Are we gonna go inside soon?"
Sharon
"Maybe, it depends on how cold my baby is" *He said before wrapping his arms and tails around her*
Warner
"Well I think Juna would want Jace back inside with her" *She'd say as she nuzzled his neck*
Sharon
"Well I can't exactly get up right now, can I?"
Warner
*She'd get off of him and head over to the pups, picking Azura up in her arms which would cause Jace to wake up as well* "Now you can" *She'd whisper as she kissed Azura on her head*
Sharon
"Better not coddle her to much. She needs to toughen up a bit" *He said standing up and stretching*
Warner
"I know, I know and besides, she won't remain this small and cuddly for much longer" *She'd say as she began walking back to the house* "Come on Jace" *She'd say as Jace got up, stretched, and began following her*
Sharon
"She needs to protect her mother. You can still cuddle her, just make sure, I'm not left out" *He said as he lead the way for them*
Warner
*She'd giggle* "Don't worry, I'll be cuddling you all night long" *She'd say as they reached the house*
Sharon
*He then opened the door for her* "I'm ok with that"
Warner
"I wonder if Juna's still awake" *She'd say softly, careful not to wake her in case she was awake. She'd put Azura down and she'd trot over to her bed by the fireplace and went back to sleep. She'd also let Jace go wherever he wished*
Michelle
*Jace would dart into the house, making his way up the stairs to the room where Juna would find herself laying down on the bed. With an excited bark, he'd enter and hop up onto it to the Canifor's surprise.*"Welcome back Jace..."*She'd say after taking a moment to realize it was only her Jackal.*"Did you have a fun time outside?"*Juna would give him a light pat on his head, feeling the chill that came from touching his pelt.*"You're so cold-"
Sharon
*Kibaru would go inside and flop onto his Bed* "I'm sooo sleepy" *He said with a yawn*
Warner
*She'd flop onto him and cuddle him* "I'm not too tired yet"
Michelle
*Juna would curl up on the bed, resting her arm on her Jackal as he would eventually lay down.*"I'm sorry I'll have to leave you again tomorrow..."*She'd murmur him.*"I promise I'll come back as soon as I can... And maybe... I'll return with your new brother or sister..."*Juna knew the Jackal didn't understand a word she said, but it at least made her feel better to tell him either way. She'd rest her head down on the pillow, closing her eyes slightly though not exactly having the will to fall asleep just yet with all that sat on her mind.*
Sharon
"Oof. Why exactly is that my problem?" *He said wrapping his tails around her waists*
Warner
"I never said that it was your problem" *She say as she rested her head on his chest and listened to his heartbeat*
Sharon
"So you're telling me I can sleep?"
Warner
"Yea you can sleep" *She'd say as she rolled off of him and sat up next to him looking out the window*
Sharon
*Kibaru would soon fall sound asleep*
Warner
*Addy would remain awake for another hour or two and when she did end up falling asleep, she only fell into a light sleep as she wanted to make sure she saw Juna off*
Michelle
*Juna would continue laying on the bed, hardly getting a wink of sleep in her anxiousness to get going the next day. At some point, she had lost track of time, finding the night pass by only to be replaced by early morning. Restlessly, Juna found herself getting up out of the bed, being careful not to disturb her Jackal. Grabbing her bow and extra clothes, Juna would make her way down the stairs to get ready to head off on her trip back to Lymia.*
Warner
*As soon as Addy heard Juna getting up, she'd quietly get off the bed and head downstairs to the door to see Juna off* "Juna?" *Addy would whisper*
Michelle
*Juna's ears would flick back as she heard Addy. Turning around, the Canifor would whisper back:*"Oh... Sorry, I didn't wake you did I?"
Warner
"No no you didn't but are you sure you don't want me to come with you? In fact, we could all go with you" *She'd say as she rushed over to hug her tightly*
Michelle
*Juna fell silent, growing stiff within Addy's embrace as she would speak with a sigh:*"I wouldn't want you guys to waste a trip on... A feeling... And... It seems like you and Kibaru have a lot of catching up to do... Something I don't want to come in between..."*She'd say, carefully taking Addy's hands in her own and moving them out of the hug.*"I've already asked so much from you this winter Addy... I...I can't possibly ask for more..."
Warner
"Juna you're like my sister! I'd do anything for you and I know you're a capable huntress and can stand your own but you aren't even taking Jace with you and you and I both know how long the trip is from Lymia to here but alas, you must promise to write to me whenever you can, alright?" *She'd say with a bit of a sad smile*
Michelle
*She'd give a light dip of her head.*"I promise..."*Without saying much else, the Canifor would turn around to head to the door before glancing back at Addy.*"And... I've survived Lymia once, right...? I'll be fine."
Warner
"Alright but be careful out there" *She'd say as she saw her off*
Michelle
*Juna would nod, soon opening the door to head out to the cold snow beyond. It was still relatively dark with how early it was in the morning, but Juna suspected as much. Eventually she'd vanish out into the darkness, her footprints being the only sign of her having left.*
