"And what," Pierce managed to say through his laughter, "was that for?"
I grinned, "That, was me saving your life."
"Aw! That means Lion-Boy got away, huh?" he whined lowering his head so he looked sad, but he couldn't stop laughing. "You think he was really gonna attack me?"
"Did you not see the look in his eyes? I knew he was going to!" I barked smiling.
He snickered, "Yeah, probably. But now I just have to hunt him down and continue." Pierce said, giving me a mischievous look. He looked up, "Maaaakkiiiii~!"
The other wolf walked up, "Hm?" she asked Pierce smiling.
"Help me up, Maki! It's cold and wet..." He said giving her puppy-dog eye until she helped him up
"You're such a baby." She muttered as I got to my paws and shuck the snow from my fur. "I swear, can't you take care of yourself?" She asked smiling.
"Only sometimes." Pierce snorted.
Maki transformed into a wolf. "Geez...How can you stand being out in the snow with your outfit?! It's so cold!" She barked at Pierce.
"Y'know? I really have no idea. Being a cow doesn't do much against the cold, so, I'm sort of stuck, anyway." Pierce shrugged while I contemplated the problem.
"Uhm...H-Hello..." A 13-year-old walked up quietly.
Maki gave Pierce a stern look, and he sighed. "Hey." he said raising one hand.
"Hello." Maki smiled shyly as she bowed.
I only bowed my head slightly,
Pierce walked off, most likely to find the lion halfer, Jake I think it was. I bowed my head to the girl again and fallowed Pierce.
I spotted him putting doors on the lion again. As the lion ran off ahead, I darted foreword and grabbed the back of Pierces shirt in my mouth. I polled him away from the others. I polled him to a spot where we could talk without anyone hearing. Looking around I decided this was a fine place.
"Ice, what is this about?" Pierce asked.
"Pierce, I have a confession, I'm not sure I believe in Harmony. I mean it sounds great, but can there really be a place like that for us." I said looking out at the others.
