Cerulean Cape That's why I couldn't stay around

Chusi sighed, the cold of winter not near as cold as she felt right now. How many times had she spent with Ingram? How she missed his warmth and companionship... But don't ya dwell on i', Chusi. He didn't even wanna come with ya. The voice in her head was right. It was no use to keep thinking about him. For all she knew, they would never meet again. This realization made her feel even colder. At least she Arrille; he was a great friend, collar and trouble-making skills included.

When she looked to the side, her ocher eyes landed on a female. Coal with milky chocolate and tawny together with the white of the snow. She didn't seem much older than Chusi herself, and she smiled in her direction. Anythin' ta keep ya mind off tha boy - go say hi!

She turned and called cheerfully; Hiya there!
