As Dalgina's small body pressed into Kiara's side her shivering stopped. Seeing the young puppy so content was heartening, although her poor nose dripped with mucus. Getting sick was just no fun, and for puppies that might as well be the end of the world. Kiara would have given anything to trade places with Dalgina, to make her pain go away. Although, Kiara was afraid that she might be joining Dalgina in her misery soon. Every morning was a struggle to eat, and her body was listless and tired. Not to mention her emotions could rage and flare up with almost no warning, making Kiara feel like anyone but herself. Whatever was happening to Kiara, it scared her.

As Kiara licked the small puppy she noticed some spots were more sensitive then others. After that, the snow wolf did her best to stay away from them. Together they sat for several minutes. The Ikusei watched Dalgina, her small black body a striking contrast against's Kiara's own white fur. What did Dalgina think of her? Was Kiara her friend? Was she another mother? A sibling? Or was she a just stranger who sometimes took care of Dalgina? Kiara desperately hoped it wasn't the last one.

To the Ikusei's delight, Dalgina asked for food and...snow? Dalgina's strange words were always confusing, especially olnayni. Not only was that the word for snow, it was Dalgina's nickname for Kiara. Although, judging by the circumstances, Kiara guessed Dalgina wanted snow. "Alright, I'll be right back." Carefully she stood and worked her way around the sick puppy. When she was free, Kiara practically ran out of the house in search of food. Once outside the huntress stuffed her nose into the snow as she searched for anything that might appeal to the sick Dalgina.

Close to the house was the strong scent of mice and after a little inspection the arctic wolf was able to dig out a couple of mice from their hiding spot. It was a small nest and only held a few adults, however Kiara figured it would be enough for Dalgina. With three mice dangling from her jaws Kiara stuffed her head into the snow and sat there for a moment. Carefully she lifted her head out, trying to make sure that a good amount would still cling to her face. There was also a decent amount on her back from the light storm. With both requests fulfilled Kiara returned to Dalgina with a face full of snow and three dead mice for her to eat.
