Toad's hesitation to offer help was immediately thwarted by the ever-helpful mother. The brown she-wolf realized after a moment that her pause was not really about her confidence in Meerkat; she was feeling mildly selfish to have a moment with Kukutux. This was an easy thing to toss away as the white wolf also offered to bring dried flowers. What a wonderful idea to bring a fresh smell to the siblings' modest home.

Of course I'll come, she said brightly, picking up the second skin that Meerkat had chosen. It would be a pleasant little trip to the grove that the youngster had mentioned. As Toad followed the girl, Kukutux posed an interesting question, one that made Toad look at her and tilt her head as they walked.

Mm-mm, she said, shaking her head. The thought of a white fox did nothing short of delight her, and she couldn't wait to hear more: for it sounded like something straight out of a story, and a good one at that. Such creatures could not possibly exist, could they?
