Harley is seven, and he and Elspeth are hanging out in the Québec capital (because the rest of the Golden Coven is doing so), and as is usual in capitals with major wolf villages, she, he, and Jacob stay in village quarters during this time.
The capital as a whole moves less often than it once did, now that people can readily teleport to other sites to handle things there; this is the first time in Harley's life that they've been to Québec for anything other than a brief visit, so it's the first time he's seen the Imperial Alpha house in which Jacob, his imprint, and her fosterling are entitled to live.
They have neighbors. One of these is a seven-year-old puppy boy, who is currently making a snowfort.

"Ew," says Zeus.
"Well, they're for dinner regardless," says Bartholomew.
Zeus sighs a long-suffering sigh.

Eventually Bartholomew serves dinner, Demeter appears from elsewhere in the house with sawdust in her hair and paint on her apron, and they all eat dinner. Zeus even eats three green beans when sternly obliged to do so.
"You've got stuff on you," Harley observes to Demeter around a mouthful of green beans. "What were you doing?"
"Making a go-cart," says Demeter. "Can't go anywhere in it till summertime, but I have a jump on the competition this way."
"It is a cart that goes!" agrees Demeter.
"It's a kinda car only it's homemade," says Zeus. "The village does a race with them in the spring once the snow melts."

"Cool," he says. "Is it fun? Sometimes I go to Aedyt's asteroid and she lets me help her make stuff and it's really fun."
