Duskfire Glacier The voice in my heart

She watched silently as he dropped his kill and pushed it towards her, his intent that he wanted her to have it clear. Thank you, she said, dipping her head a little. You don't have to do that, though, the snowy leader added, puling the rabbit towards her with her paw anyway so he wouldn't think she didn't appreciate his gift. 

She rested her fiery gaze on his face. How have you been? Settling in okay? she asked. She hoped things hadn't been too difficult for the male. She assumed most probably weren't entirely prepared for life on a block of ice, so it showed her something about his character that he was still here and seemingly okay. His actions showed her he was likely to be a valuable addition to the ranks, which was important to her, especially now that their members seemed to be dwindling. It worried the leader a great deal, but she kept it to herself. She wanted to know about his settling, not dump her problems on him.
