(Balto and Rocky are talking to nobody in particular. Rocky's making peeky-peekies at Jericho, and Balto's just saying hi.)
Rocky sighed in relief when the black wolf went away, his little brother, a pup, following him. But she was also quite jealous of the fact that he went off with another female. She hid her face from Balto, as her brother turned to look at her. "Something wrong, Roc?" he asked, slightly playfully. "No, nuthin'," she answered rather nervously. Her heart pounded in her mind. Balto just chuckled. "Everything will be fine, don't ya worry." If dogs could blush, Roc would have. Instead, she just turned away, trying to hide her feelings. Balto led them to an isolated spot, near a village that looked abandoned, but he wasn't sure. He viewed the landscape. Roc bit her lip. Suddenly, Balto yelped. "I see dogs." He scrutinized the figures. "They have a pup with them, so they must be peaceful creatures." Balto trotted to the trio, his sister following his cautiously, a little distance away. Once he reached them, he stopped, addressing no one in particular, "Hey, do you know what this place is?" Rocky took a chance to peer at the black male and his brother (Jericho and Ahaz) from behind Balto.
