Duskfire Glacier Lost and Alone

Despite Eden's fury with the child's carelessness about her own survival, she tried to remain the gentle mother she needed to be in order to coax Sorrel to eat. You're here now, that's what matters, Eden said with a sigh. She was admittedly relieved to have her daughter back under her watch, but it was paired with an overwhelming fear about what the girl's fate would be in the coming days. The cold could easily take her if it wished, as she was weak and young. But Eden held out hope that the Beings would keep her children safe. Where did you go? It was wrong to say that Eden wasn't wondering how exactly Sorrel had managed to survive in the cold for as long as she did with no one by her side. Where did the child wander off to?

Neither pups are ever required to respond in French, but I'd assume that they'd know some basics having had Eden as their mother.
