"Did you know Gobi is Mama Winter's son," Neva asks.

"That is very strange." Joe said, writing it down on the board. "So that makes Kini her son, too. But Kini is also rebelious; He and Gobi fight pretty often."

"Also Gobi is her favorite son,'' Neva mutters, "besides Kini doesn't like poeple knowing.''

"I can understand Kini beinging poisoned by her, then, but that doesn't explain Gobi." Joe thought aloud. "I know she wanted to take over the zone, but would she kill her favorite son to do that?"

"It may not have been her and think about it I doubt Mama Winter has Kini in years and he has changed a ton. In a dark room he looks more like Gobi then the small cub I grew up with,'' Neva follows Joe's train of thought.

"Hrm... That's a good point, but--" He paused and glanced up at Neva. "Wait, back up; You 'grew up with' Kini?"

"We were from the same clan," Neva repeats, "and when I saw him this time I thought he was Gobi."

Joe scratched a hand on his cheek. "...Could Mama Winter tell the difference in a dark room?" He asked himself.

(Am I hot or cold?)
(You can blame Father Brown if I'm reading between the lines too much.)

(Okay)

"I don't know," Neva answers.

"It may be a stretch, but if she was aftre him, she couldn't tell and it could be possible she wanted extra assurance. Again, big if. If anyone can recognize Kini in the dark, it'd be his mom... right?"
