When he finished his story questions instantly came. He decided to answer Vela's first, though it was with sadness that he thought back to back then. It'd been a great time, but now Floki was no longer here. "Uncle Floki was really excited when I came home to tell him that we were moving. Of course he came, too. We did a lot of exploring together to find this mountain, too, to make sure it was the best place we could find." He smiled softly as he wondered where Floki was, now. If only he'd return so he could help teach the pups.
Then Jarilo's question. "The ocean's a really big body of water. When you look at the horizon, all you see is lots and lots of water, like there's nothing beyond there. At the shore, the water makes little waves onto the sand — when you get further into the ocean, there's a really strong pull of the current, so be careful not to go swimming too far if you're ever there. And unlike lakes, the ocean's water is salt. So if you're ever near the ocean and fancy a drink, don't drink it from there." He had meant only to explain but before he knew it he had filled his answer with little dad-disclaimers and warnings, the parent alarm triggered at all the potential dangers.
