「where was this? the tiresome Daenerys walked on sharp rocks, her toes splayed and worn down by the colder climate she clearly was not accustomed to. she shivered and jolted her body as the frigid wind coursed through her crimson fur. her sleek build was no match for the northern weather. how on earth was it so cold here yet in boreas, it was the season of summer? it was clear Daenerys needed to find shelter and food by now after having spent days on her journey trying to venture back to warmer parts of the continent.

desperation and hunger drove her to call out for help then- a longing howl echoing through the crisp, cold air that held promise of a blizzard soon. hopeful she had been, praying for someone to tell her the quickest way out this winterland. 」

Alaric was built for the cold. His youth was spent in the mountains after all. His two cane corsos? Not so much. They whined and complained behind their companion as they moved through the cold northern lands for Boreas. Alaric promised them they would leave soon, back down south, shortly after he got down scouting the lands for any packs or promising raid potential for Judila. As he was traveling, the smell of a woman entered his nostrils. Followed by a desperate howl. He followed the scent and howl, intrigued and feeling...obligated to help. Damn, Atreyu was rubbing off on him in more ways than one. When he arrived he saw a woman with large curved back horns on the rocks, her sleek form shivering from the cold. He paused, keeping a respectful distance. He could tell she was struggling with the elements. "I can guide you to the southern part of the northern lands, where it is warmer." He called out to her. "However, you need shelter and rest first." He told the woman. His gaze shifted to the landscape, picking it apart and looking for anything that could provide them shelter from the cold. He spotted a cave, nestled between the rocks that look big enough to fit them. "There's cave nearby. I can take you to it, if you trust me enough. Or, if you don't, I can help you out of these lands and somewhere warmer but it will a longer journey." He offered. It wasn't much but it was better than freezing to death. She didn't look like she was in much condition to travel just yet. Alaric knew the way out of these lands, and was fit enough to make it. Behind him, Maul and Cinder whined and shook. They seemed to want this too, to leave the harsh cold land for the southern warmth once more. Or to simply find a shelter to get out of the elements.

「someone came- she whines, making her body small as her long tufted ears flattened, eyes looking out for the source of the voice. their scents were more than one, and it made his fur bristle, suddenly regretting her method of calling for help. "F-friendly?" her soft, trembling voice asked. she wanted to know who all arrived & soon her slate eyes saw the two dogs behind the wolf. threats! her snout crinkled, on edge obviously & distrustful of anything not a wolf. "I want no trouble." she proclaimed, tail tight under her body as she showed fear based submission. weary, cold and afraid. intimidated by a male and his two large dogs.. that was until she heard him speak on. There's a cave nearby. I can take you to it, if you trust me enough, he said. trust? could she?

but her body broke from it's fawning stance, desperate to feel the warmth of his plush blonde fur as she bolted toward him. a scarred beast, someone she'd stay away from otherwise had it not been in the middle of a snow storm. but she didn't care how big and bad he looked, not him or his dogs.. not when he offered her a cave to rest and warm up. hasty girl, she would accept her regrets later. "P-please." she begged, attempting to nestle against his strong chest now with eyes shut, ears hearing his heart beat while she embraced the male. she shivered for minutes, whining as her paws ached. "I don't- don't care. Just-just take me to the cave. Please." she exhaled a foggy breath, shaking as she trembled with every move- ignoring how good he smelt. 」

Alaric could see the hesitation in the woman's eyes, the wind blew harshly between them sending a mix of bitter cold and snow over them. "They are friendly, yes." He called out to her, glancing to his hounds. They were friendly enough, as long as their companion wasn't threatened. As if some type of spell was broken over the woman, she moved down the rocks and towards Alaric. Alaric went to move his body towards the direction of the cave, only to be met in a embrace by the woman. Her smaller, red, figure pressed against his chest. He stopped in his tracks, for a moment he was lost in thought. "Follow me." He spoke, breaking himself out of the storm of emotions that pulled in his mind. He led the woman towards the cave, his feet carefully placed on the rocky terrain he was so familiar with traversing. When they reached the cave, he guided her into the the middle of the cave. Maul and Cinder followed in shortly after, shaking their bodies free from snow and settling down in a nearby corner of the cave. They huddled together for warmth. Alaric swallowed. He had no materials for a fire and doubted he would find anything in this rocky terrain either. "Lay down." He commanded, his voice softer than usual. Once she had complied, he would sigh to himself. He would swallow hard and curled himself around her smaller frame, nestling her head between his thickly furred chest. "This will have to do until you're rested enough to travel." He told her, his voice hushed slightly. He would fall quiet, his orange gaze flickering from the cave entrance, to his dogs, to her. He didn't know what to say, the feeling of another felt so foreign against him. His mind flashed back to Atreyu, when she had hugged him. How deprived of a man was he really? He could almost scoff at himself. Yet this felt so...nice, almost. His muscle relaxed slightly beneath him. He breathed in, her scent filling his nostrils from the closeness. Eucalyptus. Exotic. She was truly out of her elements out here. "What brought you out here?" He finally broke the silence, wanting an answer to....this. To her.
