"Around here?" Kris asked, suddenly extremely curious. Sure, he was nervous about his sister now, but this intrigued him. "I won't even tell Winter." he said quickly.

Winter eyed the book. "Only if they are the original stories." she said, sitting up and moving closer to him.

[Alpha*]

"Yeah around here." James turns his face to his clasped hands, haunted. He cannot speak. That in itself is answer enough.

Morag smiles, stiffing his coughing as he sits up, pulling the unzipped sleeping bag around both of their shoulders, putting the pot of snow closer to the fire. Hot cocoa today is all he feels up too making or eating. And with the snow moved away its colder in the tent than before. "They are all real." he asures and then begins to read "Lilly and the Lion" outloud in a voice just above a murmmer.

[Erebaras]

Kris looked at his breakfast. "Hey, if you need eyes and ears on the street, I would be happy to help you catch that sick person." he said. "You wouldn't have to worry about my safety." He felt the urge to help. It took his mind off of his sister. Somewhat.

Winter didn't realize how cold she was until she was under the sleeping bag near Morag. She shivered and moved closer, hoping he wouldn't realize how cold she was. "Lily and the Lion?" she questioned, peeking at the contents of the book.

[Alpha*]

"Thanks but...I'm going to move on soon. " He winks, it means undercover to those raised on the street in Chicago."I know you dont like cops, so I couldnt ask that of you." he mouths, 'I think I know who it is. The group.'

Morag draws her closer, so she'll be warmer, on arm around her. "Once there was a beautiful girl named Lilly. She had twelve sisters..." he murmmers, telling the story.

[Erebaras]

Kris shook his head. "Moving on so soon?" he asked. In Chicago, he enjoyed toying with undercover cops. He never let them know he knew they were cops, but it was fun for him to watch them try to live on the streets. "After we find my sister, I will tell you something.. Though it has to be off the record." This might be the start of a nice friendship. If this search didn't end poorly.

Winter smiled shyly. She hadn't wanted him to notice her coldness because of this. She listened to his voice as she trailed along with her eyes on the page.

[Alpha*]

Morag breaks off coughing wetly,"Dont act so shy Winter," he rasps. "Dont need you sick." its teasing, then, when he has it under control he continues to read the story. The water is still cool, but no-longer snow.


James grins, "Of course." he agrees. Then, he shoveles the last bite of breakafast in his mouth, chews and swallows. Then swallows the half-glass of milk. Gathering dishes, "I take it you are full?" he asks Kris with a smirk.

[Erebaras]

Winter changed her smile from shy to her ordinary one. She shivered again and gently leaned against him.

Kris nodded. "Don't eat even half as much as you do." he teased, getting ready to go. He wanted to find his sister badly now that his attention was returned fully to her.

[Alpha*]

"Thats ok, I'll make up for it." he pats his stomach with the side of his hand, grinning.Dumping the remaints in the trash, he begins to heat up the water, rolling up his sleaves. He knows that Kris is worried, he is too. But this is the persona he is creating. James begins to wash dishes in silence.

Suddenly, "Want some cocoa? It should be ready..."

[Erebaras]

Kris flashed him a smile before staring at the door, ready to go.

Winter looked at the item in question. "Just a little bit, I guess.."

[Alpha*]

Morag begins to reach out and then stops, drawing into himself, holding in curses, groans and coughs. He wants to go home. A surpressed whimper, and then he reaches out, dipping two cups into the liquid, then hands her the spoons and packets of cocoa, "Care to do the honor?" he asks.

James methodically cleans his kitchen and restores it to order.
