Broken Antler Fen sniffles and sneezes

The young woman was growing steadily, even if she'd been sick. She'd wanted to sleep mostly, tucked back in the pile of puppies and bodies in the family den and away from the snow. Her late night adventures were probably to blame, giving an in for the little cold she'd picked up. She woke up and finally felt less sore, taking her time as she lifted herself up to stretch and test out of her body. Her joints had been achy, but she didn't know the word for that, instead just feeling all over run down. 

Noba.  Ivy's voice was scratchy with sleepiness when she called out to her stretching sister.  She was sure to keep her volume down, though, lest she wake up the rest of the family.  Her patience level for dealing with the boys' grumblings was severely limited due to the cold.  Initially, she'd gotten over the shock of sunshine, though the smallest Broken Anter Fen child found that the blanket of snow covering absolutely everything made for a terribly abundant source of brightness.  Apparenlty her eyes were just overly sensitive.

After letting a squeaky yawn escape, she stood up in one fluid motion and braced herself before taking a moment to roughly shake.  What y' doin'? she asked quietly.

Nova lifted her head to look at Ivy, offering her sister a sweet smile. "Ivy," She murmured happily, leaning in for a moment to press her skull to her sister's soft pelt. She nuzzled there just for a moment, feeling that same satisfaction that she did when she was nestled with her mother or father. "Was sleepin'." Nova responded, Ivy's pelt swallowing up the tawny girl's yawn. 

She stepped back to sit on the cold earth, a little shiver running along her spine. "What you doin?" Nova asked curiously, wondering what it was that her sister was up to since no doubt all four of the puppies were overrun with cabin fever. It was too much to go outside though, as cold as it was.

Bored, she offered with a pout as though it should have been the only explanation needed.  Ivy let out a sassy little huff.  Actually, that one word anwer was more than enough to explain!  Surely Nova felt it too, that desire to do something - anything! - but instead being force to remain inside where it was warm and safe but so .. boring!

With all that snow outside making everything so bright, the pale girl felt torn.  It was boring in here, but so dazzling out there that it made her eyes hurt.  Ugh!  Ivy glared sharply at the mouth of the family den.  If looks could kill!  She stomped one small paw and huffed again for good measure.  Bored, she said again, this time in a drawn-out whine.
