SADIE For an instant, Sadie forgot what was going on around her, and when Lausi spoke, it took a moment for her to register his words. "Mmhm... What? Oh, wow." She flicked her ears and licked Lausi's cheek lightly in appreciation before giving a small, flattered giggle. "Well I'm... " The cyborg female was at a complete loss for words. No one had ever been this honest with her about such a thing. Even the clock maker had kept to himself a lot, though he did of course enjoy her company a great deal. He had some things he never wished upon another sentient being, she understood that, and he dealt with them differently than some. Oh yes, he had called her beautiful, but she felt strange about when Lausi said it. Maybe it was their current situation and her current state of mind, but the male wolf's words seemed to resonate with her heart a different way. She hummed softly and smiled sweetly.
"Thank you, Lausi. You are my first friend at all, out here in the wild world. And you're very real, authentic," Sadie responded after a minute. "Is this how wolves are?"

WHAT KILLS ME MAKES ME FEEL ALIVE AND I CAN'T HELP risking it all Lausi smiled again, but now there was something more in his smile, something brighter. "Wolves? It depends. . . Actually, there's some of them that are sweet, but there's other wolves that are rough and mean, even if they're uncommon. And some that rough or not, you can trust" He said, thinking about Drazonic. He was trustworthy, and he could be a real friend too. But Sadie was different. She didn't spark the same kind of feelings his other friend did.
He shook his head to pull these thoughts apart. They had just met. He started licking his paws to keep himself warm for at least some seconds, and after a while, yawned curling his tongue.
"I don't think these wolv- I mean, monsters, get to this cave with this cold" He said, thoughtfully.

SADIE The other wolf's words, though corrected and lightened by semantics, were comforting nonetheless; Sadie had almost forgotten about those out hunting in the storm, the snarling, growling beasts who followed the lead of a hulking mass overpowering imperialism. Oh yes, he is nothing good, a moldy loaf.
As silly as this thought was, perhaps it's what she needed to perk herself up. Her sense of humor was coming back, her personality beginning to show through the cold and the grimness. Something changed inside her mind, she turned on, ticked to life so to speak. "Well, you're not rough and mean and I thank you for that," she replied sweetly, standing up and stretching. The metal in her braces creaked and scraped, and the cogs in her leg grated against each other as she extended everything to the point of over-extension. Shaking off the still coldness that had settled in her bones, Sadie cautiously tiptoed to the entrance and dared to stick her head out in the blizzard, but not before glancing back at Lausi and smiling reassuringly in case he was concerned about her actions. She wasn't afraid, not anymore. She had her new friend to help her if she needed, and she had a place to hide. Life seemed very good at that very moment.
"Ahh!" She exclaimed, pulling her head back in and shaking her head as she giggles. "How fun this would be, if we were not on a mountain where any wrong step could throw us down or slide us around to the ground far below."

The pursuant beasts, the monsters stuck on the other side of the blizzard, looked out of their small shelter and growled. Suddenly a howl erupted, but it was not their leader. No, this howl was that of a lost wolf. Nearby the two heard a deep snarl, the growl of a mountain lion, and quickly they retreated into their shelter. Of course they were not afraid, but they had better things to do than be clawed up by a mountain lion in a blizzard. Those animals seemed to know how to navigate though any kind of weather, and that lone wolf was more likely this particular lion's target. No sense in causing any trouble.
--
Sadie heard a faint howl, not too close. It was the desperate howl of a lost wolf, stuck in the storm outside. She was tempted to go help it. "Shnikey, Lausi, did you hear that?" Once again, she inquired as to whether the male had heard what she heard. He was, after all, her only companion and she liked to talk and share the experience.
