Wylan didn’t spend much time out by Waterfall peak. But Glacier had dragged him out this way, swearing he had scented something interesting. Of course, the little polar bear had gotten distracted by the waterfall, and was playing near the edge of it while Wylan watched.

He wasn’t terribly eager to get wet in this temperature. Winter wasn’t bathing time, at least not outside of the Armada hot springs. “Careful.” He called out when he saw Glacier start to unbalance, tipping a little backwards and forwards. He reached out and grabbed a back leg, yanking them away from the waterfall. “Silly goose.” Wylan said, as if he wasn’t usually the clumsy one around here.


"Speech"

Even though the bright lights had stolen away her mommy, daddy, and three of her siblings, Coho will not be deterred from exploring the world. Besides, it could all just be a test that they made up to see if she and Hag would behave in their absence… which, well… they try. Small paws scramble up the rocky outcroppings that lead toward a towering peak, the strange sound of a dull roar pulling the pup to quickly ascend the less than safe rocks.

Excitement pulls her on, the thought of discovering something entirely new driving her to move faster and faster. Finally, she crests the area where a roaring sheet of water falls from the sky, slamming unforgivingly into a pool below. The cold weather has iced over much of the falls, making it look like it the water being poured past a clear glass pane. Eyes round with excitement as her small paws pound the slick slate rocks, seeking to get a closer look at this strange and amazing thing.

The pool has a thin layer of ice over it and she spies a small polar tittering on the edge nearby before being rescued by a big winged wolf. Paws stop moving as she wants to get a good look at those wings but her forward momentum coupled with the wet, slick rocks has her continuing to slide toward iced over water. With a startled yelp, she calls out to the strange, “Help! I can’t stop!” Coho isn’t exactly afraid just more annoyed at the fact that she might get cold and wet.

It would be a heck of a climb down with ice in her fur.


"Coho Klein"

Wylan turned at the sound of a cry, and saw a young pup sliding across the ice. He’d been so caught up with Glacier that he hadn’t heard them sliding until they’d called out. He leaped forward onto the ice without thinking and almost immediately fell himself. He extended his cat claws, biting into the ice even as wings flared out on either side of him. He managed to catch himself, and was in position while the other wolf slid towards him.

Keeping three paws firmly locked into the ice, he extended the fourth to reach over and grab the other wolf, and scoop them towards him. But he over extended himself, and slipped. Falling hard onto the ice, until suddenly both of them were sliding. “Ahh!”he said, as he scrambled to both dig his claws in, and not lose the pup.

"Speech"

Coho has come to one, undeniable conclusion in her rapid trek; ice is slippery. Paws fan out, body dipping low toward the cold surface as her tiny claws attempt to grab ahold of anything, while the thin area of ice that houses water underneath grows ever closer. While there is a sense of urgency in her, there is also a strange… thrill that ignites very nerve in her body and sharpens her senses. The cold air feels like tiny daggers on her skin while her paw pads slowly fade away as a numbness takes over.

But, there is no fear in her because right now, she feels alive .

Eyes flash with excitement as the big winged wolf dives toward her, scrambling to grab ahold of her as a new sound fills the air; laughter. It is high pitched, boarding on squealing as the guy slips, grabs her, and slows the rapid path toward the open water. With a soft thump, she comes to a stop against the larger body of the teenager and the peals of laughter slowly fade away as her chest heaves from the force.

Once Coho has caught her breath, she joyfully shouts, “Again! Again!” Paws slap the ice as her body vibrates from excitement and she scrambles to get up to her paws as she attempts to run back where she had started her slide. Before she races off, the pup happily says, “Hey mister! Want to play?” Butt wiggles as she looks him, eyes flashing with youthful joy before she suddenly remembers her manners, “Oh, I’m Coho. Now, can we play some more?”

Dipping into a play bow, she waits to see if the big guy will play. For some reason, he looks a little… frazzled right now.


"Coho Klein"

Wylan couldn’t help it, he joined in, laughing breathlessly as his claws finally gained purchase in the ice and their reckless slide came to a halt. He patted the young wolf on the head with a wing, only to realise they were pulling out of his arms. He reached out a paw incase he needed to steady them, but she was already starting to head back to the start of the ‘ice slide’

“Hey Coho, I’m Wylan. I think there's an even cooler ice slide this way?” He suggests, trying to nudge the other wolf into a section of ice that won't take them to the waterfall.
