Issa, so caught up in playing in the snow, failed to realize that she had strayed away from Karou and didn't even notice when she crossed the border. She didnt notice however when the trees became unfamilar and she paused, eyes wide as she looked around. She whimpered, crouching down as she stared around fearfully.

Karou jolted awake, not realizing that she had been dozing. She paused then grew worried when she didn't hear Issa. She darted out into the snow, calling the pups name; her voice growing more frantic when she failed to find the young wolf.
