The two cubs finally decided to take a break from playing and catched their breath. Diego decided to take this oppertunity to talk to the newest cub.

"Sweetie, do you mind going to your mother for a while? I would like to talk to our guest in private," Diego said to his daughter.

"Okay daddy. I'll see you later Dakoda," she said as she walked away from her new friend.

Diego turned his attention to the other cub. He noticed the cub had a bit of worry in his eyes, it was well hidden but Diego had been around long enough to reconize worry when he sees it.

"Relax kid," he said calmly as he layed down to be closer to the sitting cub's height.

"Uh, Dakoda was it?,"

"Um, yes?,"

"I just wanted to ask you a few things,"

"Oh. Okay,"

"So why were you in another pack's territory last night?,"

"I was trying to find shelter from the storm,"

"Where's your pack?,"

Dakoda got quiet fot a momment.

"Something happened. I got seperated from them. Very seperated,"

"Where do you live?,"

"Right past the mountains on the other side of the island. Most animals from this side don't cross them and same goes from the other side. The only reason I came over is because I got lost in the rain, couldn't even tell I was in the other side until I tripped and could tell the difference between the enviroments,"

"Well you certainly… sounded smart while talking about that," Diego said taken back by the cub's change in the way he talked.

He went from nervous and shaky to confident and well spoken in just one question.

"Ya. I tend to do that. I sound a bit clueless when I'm nervous or don't understand something," Diego chuckled.

Manny and Sid were glarring at the two.

"I can't believe it. I don't know what's worse. The fact that, that cub is minipulating Diego or the fact that Diego's actually smiling at him," Manny said.

'Ya. I do not like that predator. I do not like him one bit. And that's really saying something coming from me," Sid said.
