Fighter comes to Ice and lays down next to her waiting for more instructions of how to help.

she slowly looked at him and licked his ear gently, she was afraid. she didn't want him to leave, she was lonely and was really wanting a mate.

" i want you to know... you don't have to stay with me... but if you want to be with me, you need to know that i'll be your partner and always be loyal to you..." she whispered.

she was blushing now, really nervous, she heard her own heartbeat, her heart was pounding

"I will stay with you, and gladly be your partner always, and I will protect you and be loyal no matter what" he says to Ice his eyes glittering gold as he smiles warmly to her, then he licks her ear back gently making her feel better.

she began to wag her tail, she felt at peace now.

"So now what do we do?" she asked him shyly. she was elated that he said yes and she didn't want to mess up.

He softly wags his tail back and answers her, "I don't know what know, do you have any ideas?" he asks her with a nudge.

" we need a place to live... territory to hunt in, a place that can be ours..." she said as the sun began to rise. her white fur glowed in the light.

"What about this den we are at? It can be our home, and we are on the edge if the forest and a grassland, and there are farms 10 miles away with some nice yummy livestock" he tells her as he looks at her glowing fur with intrest.

"Yes... Let's go hunt... Elk or deer?" she said, her blue eyes shining with ecxitement.

"hmm, which one do you want" he asks her sensing her excitment.

" Elk... let's go!" she slowly stood up and winced, she had become stiff, her hip hurt.
