"Wait a few years. You might change your mind," she answered, although she smiled as he told her about the shy cub he'd befriended. "That's very nice of you," Sonora added with a smile, "I'm sure she appreciates it when you play with her, even if she's too shy to say so."<br/><br/>The howl had her lifting her head, and she uncurled herself from the couch and moved up to the window, peering out of it behind Ryan. "I suppose it's possible," she answered, "but we're safe enough in here. Best to stay put for now, I think. Just to be on the safe side. How's your hot chocolate?"
