Kiba thought that that would probably be her answer. Loners were tough, and didn't take nicely to the damsel in distress treatment. He only wanted to help, however he could. They were nearing the camp, as the lake wasn't too far away. He still shivered a bit from his icey encounter, but was feeling much better.
Winter beamed, practically glowing with happiness. Fubuki looked up from his gathering and smiled at her. " So you have more brothers and sisters? That's wonderful! By the way, how are Summer and Autumn? Oh, and I can't forget Ocean, Ash, and Midnight. " Winter's face suddenly grew sad. Fubuki was taken aback, and knew he had said something wrong. ' Oh great, I made her sad! ' He thought agrily at himself. ' What did I say? ' He fretted. " My littermates are no longer with us. " She told him, looking at the ground. " I, I'm so sorry Winter... " He choked out his answer. He was deeply hurt, they being like his littermates as well. He was the only pup in his litter, and had been raised with Winter and her siblings, their dens right next to eachother. He remembered each of their smiling, happy faces, and almost sobbed at the thought that they were gone forever. She looked at him, her eyes kind. " It's ok Fubuki. You didn't know. It probably hurts you as much as it hurts me. " She told him, seeing his eyes held pain as well.
Koda smiled at her. " Come on in! It feels really good, especially since we can only swim in the Summer otherwise. " He paddled over to a platform of rock in the middle of the pool where he could stand but still be in the water.
