[As is her usual routine, Moro is roaming through the village. The strange part, however, is that it's the middle of the day at the moment, and those wolf tracks you might see every morning appear at night.

She's showing no sign of aggression, simply roaming about... but that can't be right. Feel free to approach her and interrogate a reason for stalking the villagers out of her. Just mind her temper.]

I never really considered them my mothers... I never felt like that about them.

[biteoffherhead]

[Huh. That's certainly different from San. Moro may be wise on a nearly endless number of subjects, but family relationships is somewhat low on the list. She's limited to what a wolf knows.]

...I suppose it's different for humans.

[lilblackfeather.livejournal.com]

Well, I mean, they were really nice, but I guess there's a difference between someone who takes care of you and someone who's like a mom.

[biteoffherhead]

...I don't think I understand.

The one who 'takes care of' you is your mother.

[lilblackfeather.livejournal.com]

Well, I mean, a lot of people have taken care of me, but it doesn't always feel the same. That lady at the apple farm, she was like a mom... it's kinda like, how they take care of you and treat you.

[biteoffherhead]

...A pack works together regardless of blood ties. The pups of the pack belong to all members.

[lilblackfeather.livejournal.com]

Really? ... Do crows work that way, too?

[biteoffherhead]

Crows work as a family unit so long as young are present. But crows do not need the strength of a pack the way wolves do, or the way humans once did.

[lilblackfeather.livejournal.com]

Mm... maybe that's why me and my friends gathered together.

[biteoffherhead]

Crows are very wise. They tend to live on their own, but they work together very well when the situation calls for it.

[lilblackfeather.livejournal.com]

I wonder if I'll grow up to be wise... [ He touches his lip. ]

[biteoffherhead]

You will. You will carry the important lessons you learn and you will store the knowledge for others to seek.

[lilblackfeather.livejournal.com]

Mm! I hope I'm someone important, too, when I grow up, then. I wanna make you proud.

[biteoffherhead]

Remember the lessons you have learned, then, and try to prevent the same from happening once more.

[lilblackfeather.livejournal.com]

Okay! I'll make sure to remember! [ He grins widely. ]

[biteoffherhead]

...Do as you must.

[Oh Moro, why so tsundere.]

[lilblackfeather.livejournal.com]

Right!

Moro, how do wolves play in the snow?

[biteoffherhead]

?

We usually hunt rabbits if we're pups. We try to pounce on them rather than chase, because that makes less sound.

But I'm too large and heavy to play like that.

[lilblackfeather.livejournal.com]

Hmm...

[ He's looking her over. He's trying to think of a way for her to be able to play in the snow, too. ]

[biteoffherhead]

[She's just. Watching.]

I can watch you instead, I suppose. I'm too old for play.

[lilblackfeather.livejournal.com]

Okay! [ He smiles wide and laughs, running and diving into a new snow drift. ]

[biteoffherhead]

[And Moro watches over him like a good mother.]

[ And Cooro is happy to entertain! ]
