The Ikusei watched as Dalgina scuttled over to a large cardboard box. The side had been chewed through, most likely by Dalgina or one of her siblings. However, the lid to the box was open and if the snow wolf craned her neck she could see inside the box. Kiara watched as the young pushed herself through the small opening, her high pitched voice sounding from inside the box and proclaiming it to be a secret. "Wow! What an amazing hiding spot!" The snow wolf rolled her sapphire eyes a little, oh the innocence of the young.
Her attention turned to the blanket that Dalgina was on not to long ago, it's colored patterns still sprawled on the floor in a wrinkled mess. Kiara trotted over and gingerly picked the blanket up with her teeth. The Ikusei dragged the blanket over to the couch with extreme care so as not to damage it or rip it. Kiara reared up on her hind legs and braced herself against the couch's arm as she slowly draped the blanket across its frame. Kiara examined her handy work and walked over to tug the blanket in a few spots so that it appeared neater.
Now that they had played a little it was time to get more serious. Kiara had a job to do and one thing she needed to do was prepare Dalgina for Lá Saoire Na Mairbh. It was one of Ichika's more serious traditions and the ideas had be given to Dalgina in a gentle manner. If the Ikusei's explanation was too complicated, Dalgina would only become confused. If her explanation was too simple, Dalgina might miss the concept or misinterpret the lesson. First, Kiara needed to find out how much the puppy knew. She turned back to the black puppy, "Dalgian, do you know about what is happening tomorrow?"
