Whisker twitched as the odd “over-sized weasel” bounced awkwardly through the deep snow. The animal was a white marten. He made an odd noise as he chased after a fallen leaf. Eventually he caught it and smirked, showing long pointed canines.
A small snowshoe hare watched the scene in front of her for lack of any other idea of what to do. ‘What’s he doing?’ she thought. She was hiding in a small bush not to far from the marten, knowing that if he were to see her, he would probably kill her.
Ryou –for that was the albino marten’s name- stopped smirking after a short moment, and stood up on his hind legs. He sniffed the air deeply, and wandered around a bit to track the scent’s source.It smelled like a hare. Eventually, he found the bush the new animal was hiding in. “Helloo….How come you’re hidin’ in there…?” he asked in an awkward pitch. It wasn’t exactly squeaky, just a little bit high-pitched.

The hare, Anna, stepped back a little, trying to make herself seem as small as possible and trembling slightly. "Um...because..." she said in a rather small squeaky voice that was a bit squeakier than usual.

The marten stuck his snout into the bush. The small pink nose sniffling around. "Well....? Why?" he asked once more.

"Because...I was told to...avoid martens," she said, attempting to shrink back a little more. She wasn't really one of the braver hares that she'd known, especially after what'd happened...

"How come....?" Ryou asked, taking his maw back out of the bush, and tipping his head to one side. His tail flicked lightly back and forth.

Anna tilted her head slightly and gave Ryou a curious look. "You mean...you don't know?" she said incredulously.

"No.....That's why I asked you." he said.

"It's because...martens normally...prey on hares," she replied, still not totally convinced that Ryou was serious.

Ryou blinked a few times, then burst into laugher. He was actually laughing so hard that he fell over sideways. "You're a funny rabbit! If I ate you, then who would I play with?" he asked after a while.

Anna stepped out of the bush slowly. "Are you serious?" she asked, giving Ryou an odd look. And he says I'm funny!

Ryou nodded. "Why...wouldn't I be serious...?"

"It just seems...odd for a marten to say something like that," Anna replied, now believing that Ryou was serious.

"That's what the others said too...They all say I'm weird...or "different"...Then they all left, and I can't find them anymore." he said, looking a bit confused.

"So you're alone too?" she asked, sitting down next to Ryou.

Ryou nodded, sending a small amount of cold white powder into the air. "I guess now we're both alone together." he said, looking a bit confused at what he'd just said. He stood up and began scratching at the snow. Eventually, he'd made a hole just big enough for him to get under the snow. Only his nose, and some of his mouth was visible on the top of the snow now.
