Dey saw Nova ready himself as if he was going to return her bite with a kick and she felt an odd memory twitch at the back of her mind. Silently, an image of some pass memory flitted through her head of three wolf cubs playing about with the feeling of carelessness. She realized that if this hadn't have been in their current situation, she would have liked to have challenged Nova to a mock fight.
"We better be careful, dearest Dey, we might forget that we actually like each other." When Nova brought her back to the present with those words, she shook her head and pretended to ignore him. Maybe I should have tripped him instead of just biting his tail. That thought was quickly followed with her imagination conjuring up images of several ways to make Nova look more like a fool in front of Ash and Durandel.
A Canicus? Ash was surprised by the information he just willingly gave, but since she had a superb poker face, didn't show it. Instead she smiled mockingly, "Really? I didn't know that, but I do know that you poor fellow, may not survive today if you don't-" "Look fire wolf, you're all the same to me, you are going to pull this sled, or I'll freeze the blood in your veins and stop your heart here and now." What a pain you are, she thought vehemently at her so-called ally.
"Now now," She rolled her eyes when Nova wasn't looking, "I think that would be a little overboard..." She got up to walk toward the entrance to the gem-stack, which is what she sometimes call this maze of a place where finding gems was liking finding a needle in a hay stack... "You think we can lock these two scum in your gem cave over night? Might give 'em time to cool off before they get to the rest of the Dimitrios."
"No we can't. We have to leave now so that we won't get caught in that maze of a place at night. It would be difficult to go through the entire thing while avoiding nocturnal predators that we would usually not see during the day," Ash replied adamantly, Especially, since I can't be out too long or the entire pack will notice my absence.
