Chenoa had fallen asleep next to her court last night. Her form pretty much curled up next to him as she laid there. It was getting colder, and she could feel it. Her winter coat had started to form and was becoming thicker by each passing day. Her ears perked towards the howling of the wind as it shook the trees above them, causing her to stir awake. Her eyes opened slowly as she turned to gaze at Shilow's sleeping form. If they were to migrate with the herds, they'd have to do it soon, and she hoped that the move wouldn't be too difficult on the wolves... Especially with a whelping mother. She shook her head some and tried to push the thought away for now, worrying about pack things would not be healthy for her or anyone. So with that, she inched closer to Shilow and licked his fore paws lovingly before resting her head on them.

Shilow felt chenoa begin to stir but for the time being, he refused to open his eyes. He loved the cold air. It was so much easier to sleep in Han the heat. In the cold, Shilow felt as if he could sleep for day. It wasn't until she laid her head on his paws that he actually woke up. He looked to her with a fervent smile then rubbed his nose against hers. His copper eyes then lifted to the trees and an idea hi him. Something to show chenoa that she might not have seen before; Nira's forest in the fall. The amount of colours must be beyond anything an wolf has ever seen at this point. And with that thought he pushed himself up and stretched out before poking her shoulder with a paw. "I want to show you something." He said in his usual calm voice.

Chenoa murred quietly as he nosed her, causing her to push her nose into his. She didn't speak for a long time, just watching him gave her comfort. Her ears pulled forwards questionably as he gazed upwards towards the shuffling, her brows raising slightly as she wondered what he was thinking. Than he stood up which caused her to pull herself up from the ground a bit. "What is it Shilow?" She asked curiously only to get a response shortly after. She smiled and nodded and so rose to her paws slowly to join him. "Show me what?" She asked.

Shilow shrugged to her question. "Just something. " he responded before padding forwards. Since they were already in lijah valley, it would only take a minute or two to get to Nira's forest. So with that, he padded on without another word. Once he began to see the wall of trees ahead and all of the colours of the millions of leaves, he smiled again. "That. Nira's forest." He pointed out before stopping in the middle of the trees and sitting back on his haunches calmly to enjoy the view.

Chenoa tilted her head slightly as he didn't exactly respond to her question. She followed him through the flowers and the grass upon arriving at a grove of trees with a rainbow of colors. She stopped momentarily to gaze at the colors. Which, was astonishing to her. "Oh... My. Shilow, the colors are.. beautiful..Brilliant." She said quietly, her voice in awe. She continued to walk in to the grove of trees, admiring the colors and the smell of it all. She would stop briefly and turn towards him questionably. "Why Nira's forest?" She asked curiously questioning the name and how he came up with it.

Shilow stayed silent; very thoughtful. For a moment it seemed as if the massive amount of thoughts he had was paralyzingly his vocal cords, making it hard for him to speak. But he eventually looked to chenoa. "Sorina. She's the most.... Vibrant wolf I've ever seen. Her coat is like nothing I've ever seen in a wolf before and when I saw this bright forest, she instantly came to mind. So, the forests name is a play on work as name. Nira."? He explained with a smile before looking back up to the trees. "South is passed steep mountains. That's what scares me most." He said, his smile dropping as well as his upbeat tone.

Chenoa nodded as he spoke, agreeing that the orange wolfess was surely brilliant. Mind, and pelt. Her eyes would follow his as they moved passed the trees. She remembered those mountains. Something about them gave her an off.. feeling. Her gaze returning to her courts with curiosity. "Why's that Shilow?" She asked as she walked back towards him.

Shilow stared off into the far distance of the forest where he could just barely see the start of the less vibrant trees and the end of Niras forest. "That's where the cats mostly live. A little while back, one of my pups got taken by a mountain lion on the steep mountains. We got her back of course; but since then, there's been a strict rule prohibiting any wolf going near there alone..." He explained but stopped as an idea hit him. He tilts his head. "I wonder... Maybe Cora and Sora could help.... There mother owes us one anyway..." He commented before looking to chenoa. "Lynx cubs."

Chenoas ear's pulled back sadly as she heard the news of a cub getting taken. She wondered which it was but decided against asking.. Something else to worry about now. Lynx cubs? They were friends with them? She shook her head at the thought but a nod soon followed. "That.. Is rather frightening to think of.. Do you think the lynx cubs will remember?" She asked wo.dering how long ago it was since they were here. But she too was curious to know was on the other side of the mountains.. And if these were the same ones with her hidden lake. "Well, perhaps they will return soon." she said smiling, nosing him. "So, stepping away from the mountains.. Are we giing to name them or keep calling them pups?" She asked giggling.

Shilow shrugged. "Not sure if they'll remember. I hope they do. I don't know if circean, squiss or Trystian have interacted with them recently. They were the cubs friends after all." He explained briefly then looked to her and laughed before picking up and padding forward, nearing the waterfall now. "I kind of like calling then pups. Pups 1 through... What? Fifteen?" He joked, smiling widely like the alpha pup he was...
