Return of a Stranger

*Armai* · 09-13-2016, 12:21 PM

Armai and Nox had both agreed to take a bit of a "vacation" before Xephyris claimed his own pack. Ever since the male had come to them asking them if they were interested she had been thinking on it more and more. She liked the idea of it and a new pack would surely benefit them. Nox was good at taking care of herself but Armai.... well not so much. Two mouths to feed, one mouth blind, was a lot harder to feed than one. A pack again would be good for them.

Why they had chosen the north as their designated spot ... well that had yet to be revealed. The lower northern section of Boreas had been fine due to her fur but the farther north they walked the less and less she liked it. Eventually biting winds nipped at her skin and tugged at the silken strands of thin fur and she realized that if they stayed north for too long she'd probably freeze to death. While she was failing miserably at staying warm Nox was absolutely loving it. The snow leopards warm coat had more than enough insulation to keep warm. Armai found herself envying her friend.

Eventually, when the snow began to feel flatter a bit more like ice, they decided to split up for a bit. Nox had wanted to explore something a little less "boring" as she had put it and Armai allowed her. This land felt pretty vacant and, with assurances from Nox, she realized she'd have an easier time walking here than she had before. If all of it was flat and barren it meant she wouldn't walk into anything which was good for her. Last thing she wanted was a bruised nose or a twisted ankle.

So she'd set out on her own for a little while. Her pace was slow and her steps deliberate. Each foot was carefully placed and she made sure with each stride she wasn't falling into any holes or bumping into anything foreign. To her glee, despite the footing being slick, the terrain was kind to her. Well at least it was for a little while. It felt like one minute she had been walking and then the next ... Well she wasn't sure how it had happened. One second her foot had been there and now she was sprawled out on her stomach with her limbs in a disarray and her chin to the ground. "Ouch." She muttered. She didn't bother moving and decided to lie there defeated for a moment until her chin stopped hurting from where she bumped it.
