He was busy sleeping. His little form was curled into itself, fast in the world of dreams. He did not stir until he felt the sting of fang upon his white tipped ears and the sound of his name come from his sister's mouth. He groans...or more of, whines, his voice high and soft in power. His eyes of lavender and green, and one touched with red, open to the world, blinking many times as it focuses in. He feels...cold. Something he likely felt more so than his sister. A frown crawls on his white muzzle. He whines again, looking to his sister as she shivers.

"As...As...terrrrr," he says weakly, his own body shivering as he slowly sits up. He did not want to move. He just wanted to curl up and be warm but...Mother and Father were not here to keep him little body of black warm. He whines again, scooting slowly to place himself next to Aster as she too shivers.

"As...terr....where are...they?" he says quietly, sadly even as he attempts to bury himself closer and closer to his sister if she allows, their difference in size certainly very obvious. He curls his tail around them, more whines escaping him as he dislikes the cold and misses his parents immediately.

Aster did not sit still though. Aster moved towards the mouth of the den, and the tiny pup was left to himself once more. He did not follow as she went closer to the mouth of the den. He just now noticed the different sound outside...and how his sister was drawn to the mouth of the den with that weird noise. His ears fall back as his tail curls around himself, huddling into a ball. It might not be...safe. what is Aster thinking? He then sees the line of...something coming down and panic overcomes the little one.

"As...ter! Come back!" he begs. "No As...ter be...careful!" he calls out with his weak and soft voice, trying to be as loud as he can and can barely get to a speaking voice. His paws of black, and one awkward white paw, attempt to move him forward. He shivers with each step, unstable and wobbly. He is much less stable than his sister, and eventually finds himself on his belly at the bottom of the small embankment....unable to climb it yet himself. He knew his legs were too weak, he could barely make it to where he got without crawling.

"As...ter...what...is...it?" he says softly, taking in deep breaths as he curls up in himself again in an attempt to stay warm. Well...if he cannot climb up, he will just have to watch over his sister. She sniffs it...and then something happened. It hurt her! He lifted his head, eyes growing wide but he was simply helpless.

"Sis...sister! You...are you...okay?" he asks, but by the time he finishes, she is already up and smacking it with her paws. She then goes to the entry, barking a warning out for their parents. He whines quietly to himself as he remains curled where he was still inside of the den, his multi-hued eyes peering up but not seeing too much.

He then sees the form of another large wolf, and initially he waves his tail weakly hoping it was their parents. A small, small smile cracked on his lips, only to washed away as he realizes it is...not them, that there are other big wolves out there. He heard the words directed at his sister, and he wanted to...be involved. He wanted to climb up just like his bigger sister! He wanted to see what see saw, and see the other wolf! He uncurls himself, shivering still as his much smaller paws make an attempt up the embankment...only for him to slide down after only two pathetic steps. He attempted only one more time with the same result...and he simply gave up with a whine, laying on his belly with legs under him, and curling his tail around to keep him as warm as possible.
