Moonspear island smiles and cardigans

She appreciated the sentiment behind his wanting to be there and that meant more than anything. She closed her eyes, still smiling and leaned into his affectionate lick, glad that she had him to make her feel better about all of this. 

When he jumped up and began telling her about snow wars, she got to her feet as well, tail wagging behind her. She watched him make is 'fortress' as he had called it, giggling as he he piled the snow up so that he could hide behind it. She hadn't processed his next words until she felt snow on her head, and she gave him a playful glare that fell away as he came bounding back in front of her and started licking the snow from her head. She would so get him back for that. 

She ran a few steps away and began making a snow-mound of her own looking to Slavik from over the top of it when she finished. Like this? she asked, grinning at him from inside her own safe zone. A sly smile crossed her face then, and she quickly used her paw to fling snow at him, aiming for his chest and turning around to check her work as she giggled again. He was right: this was fun.
