She turned, ears pricked at the answering song. And deflated only a little when she saw it wasn't kin. But that was ok, strangers were still fun. Exciting, even. And maybe this guy knew something! Maybe he'd seen her family, or heard something about them!

Hello! Liss howled back, bounding over the snow to meet him with tail aflurry in joyous welcome. I'm Liss, it's nice to meet you! What's your name? She skidded to a halt and dropped into a play-bow, sending a wave of powder in his direction. Your fur is so pretty! It's like you're wearing the sky! Springing forward, she pranced around him and grinned wildly, The fire, it's cool, isn't it? Well. Not cool, warm actually, But — well I came here from somewhere hot, can you imagine! I found a tunnel, and when I got through it the sand had turned to snow! Then I had a weird dream, about a big tree, and — the end of the world, I think. Smile flickered, Did you have it, too? I know that probably sounds crazy if you didn't, but there's been dreams like that before, and everyone has them! Seriously, everyone. They're important. I think the fire must be important, too. If you can even call it a fire, 'cause who's ever heard of purple fire. It's supposed to be orange! But... well, maybe magic doesn't follow the same rules. Her head tilted, nose twitching as she sniffed at him, You know I haven't seen anyone else for a while. I'm glad I'm not alone out here. Do you know what we're supposed to do next, ...? She finally petered off, realizing she'd never actually stopped talking long enough for him to give her his name.
