The wolf was releasing himself in the forest near the camp beside the hot spring when the little vixen was sleeping. At least he thought she were sleeping. He didn't notice her approaching behind him while he was peeing. "What are you doing there?" Shocked and surprised he turned around and accidentally peed all over her. Their eyes stared wide opened into each other in shock. Her fur was tripping wet and he still held his penis in his hands. For a short time there was absolute silence. "Ewww gross!" „I’m so sorry! I didn’t want to..." She began to chuckle, then laughing out loud. He pushed his penis back into his pants. It was the first time he saw her laugh. Suddenly he couldn't hold it anymore and he began to laugh too. His laugh was deep and smoky. She stopped laughing and looked kind of frightened, "Your laugh is creepy". He stopped, "Oh, excuse me". She smiled again. You have to clean yourself and your clothes. You may get sick otherwise." "Okay." She went off. A slightly grin marked his face. "So this is how laughing feels like. I kind of like it."

Later that day, or night, he was relaxing in one of the pools of this hot spring. It wasn't snowing anymore and the sky was clear. The shining, silver light of the moon was revealing the beautiful landscapes of Lunaria. The air was freezing cold but the water was warm and pleasant. A light breeze was flowing through the fur on his face.
As he opened his eyes he saw her sitting on a rock about two meter away. Naked and staring at his crotch. He pressed his legs together and returned to an upright position. "What are you looking at?" She smiled, "Nothing". You shouldn't expose yourself that much. Some men could get aroused and thinking the wrong thoughts." She slipped into the water and leaned on the natural pools' wall. "What does aroused mean?" He searched for words. "Just kidding. I know what it means. So are you… aroused?" She blushed. "No." She seemed a little upset and grabbed her little breasts, "Am I not attractive?" "Stop that!" He yelled, "You are too young for such things. What are you, ten? And you have already such a dirty mind?" She began to cry a little „Im sorry. I didn’t want to make you angry." "Its ok. I shouldn't have got loud. It’s just... you have to be careful. You are pretty well grown for a ten year old. Some could get your plays wrong." „I’m twelve". He wanted to say more but resisted. They sat in silence for a while and he closed his eyes again. "It’s like she is a new person, after the ice broke."

"Mister Wolf?" he opened his eyes. ”Was she sitting there all the time? And still exposed. How did she do that?” He lost himself in his thoughts. "Mister Wolf, why did you take me with you? She had this questioning expression again. „You told me not to leave you. And I said yes, remember? "Yeah, but I saw what you did with those soldiers. I saw the emptiness in your eyes. Why did you really take me with you, instead of letting me die in the woods? Like the one whose arm you ripped off?" her face was very serious. "You are really smart for your age. Little one." he sat upright. The floating above the surface. „Ok little one. I tell you my story. But after that, we never speak a word about it, do you understand?" she nodded. "I was lonely when I wandered through the woods. I can't remember my origin, nor can I remember how it felt to smile, to be happy or to love. All I felt was despair and I had no targets in my life. At least for years. Then I saw you in danger and something in me told me that saving you would be right. So I did it.
When you thanked me for that. I felt something I had already forgotten. Something I don't know a word for. I hate people normally. I hate every kind of socialisation. I know this sounds like some stupid novel. But it’s how it is." "Do you hate me then?" "No little one, you're somehow different." 
"Do you have family?" "No, I never had one. Maybe I just can't remember" "And friends?" "No". "Can I be your family then?" he looked at her confused. "I need no pettiness." "I was serious." „Because I saved you? Why do you even want to stay with me?" "No not because you saved me. I have nowhere to go and you surely are lost as well. I know you have a good heart. You tried to be a hard and cold man, you acted all cool and you wanted to let me think you have no feelings. I can see your true self and I like it. It makes me feel save.” "Damn, are you Shure you are only 12 years old?". She smiled "Yeah, everyone kept telling me that I was very mature for my age." "You shure are little one. No doubt."

"She was right. She could read me like a book. I didn't notice her appearance three times now. This never happened before. Who is she? Why do I have this warm feeling around her?" He couldn't order his thoughts. They were completely derailed by this little vixen whose name he doesn’t’ even now. 
"So do you want me to be your family or not?" „I don't know. Let me alone for a moment please." she stood up, "I was right, wasn't I?" he kept silent. Then she left. The nightly sky was cloudy and the air bone chilling cold. The moon was partly covered by clouds. The wolf tried to clear his derailed thoughts. The vixen sat beside the fire and was drying her wet fur. Only the crackling fire and the wind could be heard.
