| Shivae! | [[ Close up of rabbits ]] / Taun: Vas, you are wild. I am wild. / [[ Pans out so that we see both Taun and Vas ]] / Taun: Noel does not understand that we are different from the other animals and you--should not forget it either.

| Shivae! | [[ Vas is perched on a log ]] / Vas: I wouldn't want to get lost in the snow. / Taun: I know my way. Come.

/ Taun: We will eat. You - will make the kill. / [[Close up on Vas. Ice and snow covered trees are in the background. The day itself is very grey.]]

/ Majesty Snowflower: If you do not say something immediately, I will assume you are a beast and pound you into the ground.
/ Vas: UHM - Please don't? / [[Closeup of Vas, speaking. The large horns of Majesty Snowflower seem to wrap around Vas.]]

| Shivae! | [[Vas looks slightly downcast]]
/ Vas: I - / [[A grinning Snowblossom looks down at the wilted Vas]]
/ Snowblossom: For future reference, little stripes, all speaking hoofers move in herds or pairs. The fools live on the fringes and walk alone. You are stalking my wives, my brothers, my brothers' wives, and our sons and daughters.
/ Snowblossom: And you were spotted. You are not a good hunter, are you? http://shivae.net/archive.php?day=20060216 |
| Shivae! | [[Snowy Outdoors. Taun, Vas, and Majesty Snowflower are present. Vas is looking at Taun, displeased]]
/ Taun: Majesty Snowflower, this is my friend, Vas. He meant no harm. I just needed to show him he has much to learn..
/ Majesty Snowflower: Well, then, he should go down the hill and hunt there. It should frighten the fawns enough to keep them close for a few weeks. I have enough to do without constantly looking for straying fawns.
/ Vas: ... / {{title text: Comic for Saturday, February 18, 2006}} http://shivae.net/archive.php?day=20060218 |
| Shivae! | [[Taun and Vas walking through snowy woods, away from the encounter with Snowflower]] / Vas: That was mean. / Taun: At least Snowflower didn't pin you to the ground like his father did to me and I was much smaller than you at the time. / Vas: I don't want to hunt - I can eat fish. / [[Arriving to an iced-over pond]] / Taun: OK then, catch us some fish for breakfast, Vas. http://shivae.net/archive.php?day=20060221 |
