Brrr! A shiver ravaged the oversized male's body as he stood at the northernmost point of the continent, having never traveled so far before. Even with his thick coat and bulky build, he couldn't help but feel a bit cold even here, overlooking the ocean; the bitter winds whipped and pulled at his fur, making his eyes briefly water as they looked out across the horizon. Kai couldn't help but wonder how far the ocean stretched on for - he couldn't see a damn thing in the distance other than water, water, and.. well.. more water. His nose wrinkled as he finally turned from the ocean and moved to face the other and more prominent oddity this land possessed.

A sharp spiral of ice shot up straight into the sky ahead of him, taller than even some of the vast redwood trees he had encountered. It was seemingly without purpose, yet he knew this was a powerful sort of place. Another siedi, if he had to guess, and he couldn't help but wish he had some sort of sacrifice to leave here. Just as last time, he had nothing to offer, and it was difficult to imagine finding much worth sacrificing so far north. Still, Kai was curious, and it wouldn't stop him from moving toward the structure as his gaze lifted and reached toward the sky, following the sharp column of ice to the heavens.

If you wish, I was thinking we both could earn 10 points at Navigation by "Gave or received a lesson in astronomy, weather, or difficult terrain". Kai could teach her about the clouds and how they can predict the weather such as storms and rain?

nephthys With a quite arrival, the babe slipped into this new world idly and yet cautious to her surroundings, without much cause nor need for fanfare. Cast adrift, the sway and shift of sinew drew her much like a ghost against a wintry backdrop. By the very grace and illumination of the moon, her traversing was not laborious, far from troubled. She came much in the way smoke rose between the charred veins of smoldering wood and ember. Tidal in her movements across the windy scenery, somewhat of what one may call a glissade. Without ill-intent, she'd chosen to avoid company and other forms of companionship in order to cast her gaze to heavens and register in her scholar mind the movements of the clouds. She decided to start here, where her leaf compass took her, in the North parts of Boreas, and slowly follow the course back home, in the Eastern side, where the weather was warmer. The babe would move in the way jungle cats do, in a low prowl ushered by muffled steps of soft leathered pads in order to make sure she won't trip along the terrain as her pomegranate optics were cast upon the sky. Shuffle and sway, shuffle and sway -- and there, there off yonder awaited the gaping, yawning wound stretched against the earth's surface. Time passed slowly, the clouds almsot making her dizzy in their slow but sure movements as the wind drifted them away. What are clouds made of anyway? she questioned her own self, Maybe they are made of cotton. she replied to herself out-loud this time. How do they move? They must be lighter than air but that is just impossible. the babe continued to wonder and question the possibilities in a low, almost inaudible voice, sweet to the ear, sweeter than honey, that flow like a river towards the outside world. Could it be that there is an appointed God that I did not heard of that moves them at-- BAM! BANG! BUFF! In only a split second the babe was on her rear, a deep pain surrounding her thin muzzle. Goddamnit! she spatted venemously, a teacup paw reaching to rub at her snout. She blinked once, she blinked twice and she could not believe it. She hit.....Ice? she questioned in surprised, both her brows rose incredulously. Before her stands a enormous pillar of ice that spreads towards the sky, further than she was able to see due to the close distance. Hear my voice come with me where the moon is made of gold

Let's Plot Together

Kai's own travels were far from planned - he was more apt to travel simply on a whim, going wherever his paws carried him with little rhyme or reason. His only criteria, as of late, was to enjoy the more harsh climate of the north for as long as possible. So far he had gotten the most enjoyment out of the northernmost terrain, and he fully intended on continuing his adventuring. Especially in lands that were anything like this one. His jaw unhinged just slightly as he began to fully grasp just how tall the pillar of ice reached, branching off and leaning precariously toward the sea, as if reaching toward the frigid depths.

Only the faint sound of something (or someone?) nearby caught his attention, his gaze dropping from the skies down to the earth once again. The figure of a stranger was visible in the distance, at the base of the thick pillar of ice, and he narrowed his eyes as he tried to get a better look at the wolf. He almost thought she looked a bit surprised as she pulled away from the structure. Curious, he padded over to the stranger, careful to watch his footing on the slick icy terrain. "Did it jump out at you?" Kai quipped, beaming widely as his own words as he approached her. His eyes roved over her coat, nose twitching as he tested her scent and tried to implant it into his memory. Only when he drew closer did he realize he'd met her before, at the strange frozen-in ship, and his grin grew a bit wider. "So we meet again!"

nephthys At first glance the babe would have sworn it was some sort of ice sculpture, given the temperature, it was the most likely guess. But when she finishes rubbing her snout a paw rose to be placed upon the collosal structure and she almost whined. It was cold, ice cold, and wet to the touch. What the hell was ice doing way out here? And why so large and irregular? Each piece had at least the volume of an oversized building, as she gazed around herself. Next time watch where you are going instead of starring at the clouds. She thought to herself. The babe could only imagine them being used as weapons of some sort, maybe shot from afar, and so she spun around on her limbs casting wild eyes to the sky. Enormous. She shaked her pelt regardless, this was a surprise and she didn't like them. Before long a voice could be heard in the distance, she must have been to surprised to notice anyone approching until it was to late. Great. She did not wish for an interaction today but to her surprise the voice was familiar and before long the scent hit her like a train. Familiarity took over her as pomegranate gaze observed the man approaching. Ghost hunter. she purred between frozen canines, optics never leaving the ashen man that closed the distance between them. You cannot get away from me that easily. her voice but an octave higher, a falsetto, chest raising and lowering with each breath as a smile distanced the corner of her black, voluptous lips. I was discovering the mysteries of the clouds when this....thing came out of no where! she rubbed at her snout again to amplify the magnitude of her surprise. Hear my voice come with me where the moon is made of gold

His attention shifted briefly from the tall pillar of gleaming ice to the female, intrigued by her. It seems fate had decided to bring them together once again, and even if it was for no apparent reason, it made him want to speak to her that much longer. At least to get to know her briefly, at the least. He grinned as she rubbed her nose from the collision, letting out a soft laugh of delight. "You remember me!" He said, delighted as she turned to face him and the more vacant look she'd worn before was replaced with warm familiarity."

Her comment might his smile brighten. "Did you ever think maybe I don't want to get away from you? Hmmm?" Kai jested playfully, and maybe a touch flirtatiously, though he shrugged a moment later. Staying on one subject had never really been something he was very good at.. and this interaction was no exception to that trule "At least this time we don't have a weirdo pretending to be some kind of evil demon this time, eh?" It was definitely nicer this time; he didn't have the patience for such things; the talk of devils and other nonsensical things wasn't anything Kai was all that interested in.

His gaze shifted back to the pillar of ice before them. "Out of nowhere, you say?" He let out another soft chortle of laughter, rounding the side of the pillar and prodding at it gently with his nose. From here it seemed so much smaller, but a few steps back reminded him of how massive the structure was. "This thing is beautiful, though strange," he added, eyeing her curiously.

nephthys I suppose it would be appropriate to remember you. After all, it is not everyday that you met with a Ghost Hunter. she chuckled warmly as the words fell from her lips. Pushed, forced with a thick egyptian accent. A steady, yet passive drip of syllables. Pomegranate optics scanned his muscular bodice with warm as they came to rest upon his familiar facade, a smile tugging at the corner of the babes lebon lips. How could you when I provide the finest of companies. she purred sensually with a dramatic gesture of swaying towards him flirtatiously and a wink, returning the gesture and wondering what this man had under his sleeves. Maybe he was more than meant the eye. This man, held a far more inmistakable influence and aura that surrounds his whole being. The babes guard remained high, up as she rubbed at her snout again. Alert, the senses were keen and yet, her body remained the apex of casual, of calm as her audits caught the laughted escaping the mans jowls. It did! she argued in a high pitched tone, Here I was, minding my own when this...this brute decided it would be best to just grow here in the middle of nowhere! Hear my voice come with me where the moon is made of gold

Her words brought a wry smile to his lips.  "Ah, yes, a ghost hunter indeed!" Kai responded with another low chuckle, amused at the recollection.  "I'm not terribly disappointed that our other friend hasn't shown up again. Bit of a weird one, she was," he commented, mostly teasing - while he wasn't what he'd consider an ordinary wolf, and this Nephthys seemed unique in her own right, but the one that had been trying to spook them away from the ship seemed odd in a totally different and disconcerting way. Nah, he was alright with that one.

Her flirtatious demeanor made him laugh again with amusement.  "Finest, eh? Prove it, then!" Kai quipped, not completely sure what she was implying but willing to probe at the meaning behind her words nonetheless. But his attention was torn away by her insistence that the pillar of ice had, in fact, just jumped out at her. His silver eyes were alight with laughter as he nodded, as though agreeing without really believing her words at all.  "Wonder if this thing ever melts at all. Or if it just keeps growing?" Kai peered up at the tall pillar again, curious. It seemed cold enough here that any of it melting seemed unlikely, but he'd never been here - so who knew?
