Jake

.

+He looked back at the male with a warm smile before he starts to laugh closing his eyes as he does reopening them when he is finished+ "You don't have to I have to start to stick up for myself anyway"

River

.

+Opening her eyes she raises her head looking around her surroundings before she remembers where she is and rests her head back down+ "Best sleep I've had" +She says giggling afterwards her tail starting to sway+

Mukluk moved his head side to side. "Yeah, I guess."

He moved his face closer to Jake's, inhaling his scent deeply and not noticing how intimately close they were.

Jake

.

+He once again looks away from the male before he lets out a soft giggle+ "Y-You ok? +He asked in his usually soft tone his eyes holding worry and amusement+

"Uh," Mukluk mumbled, pulling away. "Sorry..."

He shuffled his paws uncomfortably.

(Aight Imma poof, g'night)

Jake

.

"I-Its fine" +He shakes his head before he starts to lower himself onto the ground landing with a soft thud before he looks up at the other male his tail still swaying behind him+

Dylan watched the two from afar. That was it, the male sucsefully stole his friend. He paced, he doesn't need me anymore, and I now have no purpose he thought. He then stoped pacing and started to dig in the corner. He dug and dug and if any dog came up to him he would cover when hole up with snow and countinue later.

(I'll be on tomorrow, goodnight y'all)

Jake

.

"I really need to go check on him...ill be back" +he says with worried eyes before he stands walking over towards his friend with a tilted head+ "W-What are you doing?...are you ok?" +He asked softly his tail tucked+

Ava looked at the group and said, "I'm going to rest for a bit." She walked toward a corner of the fence and laid in the snow, snout facing the corner. She wrapped her tail around herself. It wasn't your fault. That incident was long ago. Get ahold of yourself! She thought. She covered her snout with her paws. "Get ahold of yourself!" She growled quietly. "There's nothing you can do about it so don't think about it." She sighed. A tear rolled down her fur. She turned herself back towards the area. She then spotted Dylan digging as Jake walked over. Let him do what he wants. Don't get involved......you'll only make it worse. She told herself. She took a deep breath and stood up. "Two more laps for now?" She asked herself. She shook her head, letting snow fall from her snout. "Yes." She ran around the fences, slower than usual this time. She ignored Dylan and Jake talking while she ran. As she stopped at her two-lap mark, she laid down, watching everyone talk. Don't think about the incident too much, okay? Just worry about your laps and working for a spot in the team. Ava dug in the snow, burying most of her body except her head and neck. She laid her head on her paws and drifted into sleep. The snow was comfy and seemed warm once she was under it. She smiled, dreaming of racing with her new friends and musher.

(I'm going to bed, g'night!!)
