Strange and beautiful

Naniko often got up early, but today she was sleeping in a little bit. It was one of the nice things about having the pups up and about, all out on their own; she could sleep. Anu must have gotten up and went out to do things a little earlier, because when the pale female did open her eyes her mate wasn't anywhere in sight. She went to the entrance of their den, stretching her arms up toward the sky. What a great day! It was nice and sunny out, and even though it was still pretty chilly out the sun warmed her as she stood out in the light.
The Commander took one last glance back into the den before she started out into the woods, heading for the lake. Maybe today she would fish, or something. Or maybe the ice would be thick enough to slide on! She was in her optime form, on two legs, so that kind of thing would be easy. And she really liked sliding. The thought exciting her a little, she walked a bit faster. It took her a half an hour to reach it, even with her quickened pace, but when she got there she was grinning just as widely as when began her walk. Naniko looked at it for a moment, taking in the sight before coming even closer and stepping out onto the ice. No crackling sounds. It was deep winter, and the lake would stay completely frozen for a month or so. It was perfectly safe. She slid a few inches, then a few feet, digging her hind claws into the ice every now and then to gain traction. "Woo!"
