"O-Oh... I-I'm sorry..." she mummered and got closer to him. Ash controlled the wind with one hand and put her other hand on his shoulder,"We can be your new family.." she whispered. "I-I mean, like all of us!" she quickly corrected herself. They kept walking, she didn't take her hand off his shoulder. She thought to herself,'What happened to Crow's family?'

Crimson chuckled at her when she refroze it. Widened his eyes before he acted as if he wasn't a bit scared of the box. Nervously laying down just outside of her iced spot. Watching her for a bit. "what's that look for?" he said with an uneasy glance at the fox again.

Crow didn't look at her. "I don't need a family..." he said quickly. Walking slightly faster. Tensing when her hand touched his shoulder. His eyes beginning to water a bit as he thought of hi sister. His hand clenching into a tight fist. Angrily staring at the ground. Hating the people who killed his sister.

Ash quickly took her hand off his shoulder and slowed down,"A-are you okay?..." s he asked quietly. Ashlyn walked behind him. She set down the elk and stopped,"We are here for you...," she told him,"you can trust us..". She grabbed the elk back and started walking again. They soon reached the tunnel,"We will need to drag this through the tunnel." she told him. Ashlyn set it down and grabbed one of it's giant antlers.

Crow shook his head a little. Snapping out of it. "I'm fine and I don't need a family. Why would I trust any of you..." he grumbled. Grabbing the elk by the antlers and pulling it hard. Not looking at Ash as he walked. Pulling harder as he walked. Angrily pulling at it. Breathing a bit heavily as he did. Trying to calm himself.

"I think you know" she wispered teasingly. Her eyes dancing she launched Arctic at him. Arctics eyes wide and teeth bared in anoyance as he flew through the air and on to the boy. Yipping annoyedly he glared at Echo who just laughed.

Ashlyn looked at him, grief in her eyes. She pulled at the elk,"I-" she stopped, not wanting to make it worse,"M-my father died during the Great War... t-that is why I-I am here.." her voice cracking with grief. She pulled at the elk until they got it through the tunnel. She set it down breathing hard.

Crimson squealed a bit as the fox landed on him. Closing his eyes tightly. Shaking a bit as his hands heated up a bit from his emotions. Breathing heavily as he kept himself from hurting the fox. Scrunching his face a bit as he layed there. "P-Please get it o-off me..." he said quietly, his voice cracking. His body tense as he layed there. Slowly opening his eyes a little to look at the fox.

Crow sighed. Breathing heavily as he pulled at the elk. Not saying a word. Running his hands through his cold hair. Calming himself a bit. Sitting down on the ground to catch his breathe. "I'm sorry" he said softly.

Echo snickered "but you too look so cute together!" She coued. Her eyes dancing with mirth. "Don't be scared, Arctics a softy" she whispered as if it was a secret. Continuing to glare at Echo, Arctic coiled his tail around his paws and sat on Crimson.

Crimson shook his head a little. "T-Then why is it's teeth showing. I think i-it's going to bite me..." he said trailing off when the fox moved. Tensing more. Cringing a bit at the foxes movement. Breathing a bit more heavily. Opening his eyes a little again. Frantically looking at Echo. "Why are you laughing, it's g-going to eat me" he said frantically. Looking at the fox again. His eyes wide.

Demon got up and walked off following a small path and sighed. His tail slowly curled and uncurled just above the ground as his ears twitched.
