Shivae! [[A guest picture of Smudge's Blanc holding Vas]] / Blanc: Hey, Dunain. You said you wanted a new hunter's pet. How 'bout this little guy? / Dunain: No. / Blanc: But... / Dunain: No!

Shivae! [[Taun, Noel, and Vas all walk smiling through the amber field.]] / Taun: It's going to be winter soon! You can smell it. When it snows, there won't be any way out of the mountains. We'll be alone up here. / Noel: It won't be that bad, Taun. We have plenty of food and supplies.

Shivae! [[Vas looks back as the three continue walking]] / Vas (thinking): ...Taun and I have spoken much. She is wiser than myself. I am too young to be alone. I am safe here.

Shivae! [[Light streams through a window on Vas and Taun's silhouette]] / [[Taun stands up next to Vas]] / Taun: It's just wind and a snow storm. It will be over soon. You'll see. Let's go lay close to the fire. It's warmer in there and less noisy.

Shivae! [[Loani smiles down at the happier looking Taun]] / Loani: I suppose I was right in you two being cold? I was just coming to bring you into the den and give you something warm to eat. You smelled the milk warming, didn't you? Greedy beasts, aren't you?
Shivae! [[Taun and Vas are happily munching on dishes full of milk and bread]] / Loani: Now, you two be good and stay in here. / [[Loani smiles at them from near a blazing fire in the fireplace]] / Loani: And you had better eat every bit of that. I don't want to clean up in the morning.
