Deciding one shoulder had enough of the cold, Adeline tried to roll over onto her other side. However, her body heat had melted a little of the ice, and she slid a few feet before coming to a stop. She laughed with excitement at the new sensation of sliding across the ice. That was fun! she exclaimed. She wondered if she could do it again, on purpose, but then wondered if Grayday might try to stop her. 

She considered his question for a moment about whether she wanted to hear about winters with a pack or winters without. With first, she said. That made the most sense since she would be experiencing one soon with the pack. But, then without, too, she added, simply because she was curious.
