OOC: Sorry for MY late reply; there was a field trip being prepared, and schoolwork, and... never mind. Let's roleplay!
IC:
Lunatoke did not fail to notice Enlil relaxing himself as well. She was glad that he was as relaxed around her as she was him, and she felt something inside her unclench. Lunatoke wagged her tail back at him, giving that grin that only a canine truly could. She thought again of the Esparir berries as she watched some stray hairs float to the ground. She herself had shedded her coat earlier, so she wouldn't be itchy again until it grew colder.
Enlil spoke thoughtfully and honestly about the cold, and Lunatoke kept in mind the advice about food. She herself had trouble storing food, and she took to heart what he said. She couldn't help snickering at the way he was so animated, and carefree. "I think you would have liked Totake," Lunatoke said without thinking. "He was a lot like you."
Lunatoke pricked her ears, forgetting that she probably knew more about Esparir berries than he did. She thought about their unique shape, their color... "Esparir berries, if mashed and spread on afflicted area, will reduce itching," she said, remembering what her old mentor had taught her. "They're a mix of red and gold, like autumn leaves. They're easy to find during spring and summer, though a bit harder during autumn. Esparir berries are shaped like pears; you do know what pears are, don't you?" she asked, switching back to the real world. She did not mean offense, simply an honest question.
She thought forward for the first time since the flames, and realized that he was right; she would survive fine during summer, given that there were some prey about. She thought to ask him later, but continued listening.
He seemed much older when he spoke of winter, and in automatic response, she listened carefully. She knew that having a tribe --pack-- would be good during winter, having someone else to stay warm with, not to mention being able to help and be helped with food. He spoke of several packs, and she was thouroughly impressed. Back in her land, there were only four tribes, and she wondered what it was like to have so many wolves about.
"What have you heard of these packs?" Lunatoke asked eagerly. She didn't mean to confuse or pressure Enlil, but she loved to learn things. "What kind of prey do they eat? What do they do? Have you ever been in a pack, or have you lived as a loner?"
