in a different place

His days of mountain-climbing, sadly, was likely closer to ending than it was to just getting started. Someday running up such an incline would be too difficult to do, let alone just making it up here at all. He'd probably never reach the peak of such a mountain, which was fine by him. The view here was lovely enough, and more beautiful than most wolves saw in a lifetime. Faite, luckily, only seemed momentarily shaken - and perhaps a bit bashful that she'd almost fallen. But she didn't! And that was what mattered. He grinned as she ambled over to him to sit.

"It is tricky," he agreed gruffly, nodding his head as he decided to rest for a moment too. They did have to get back down, after all. The descent was easier on the chest, but could be even more dangerous with slips and falls, especially if they went at too quick of a speed.
"But well worth the risk for a view like this." Now that she wasn't trying to catch her breath quite as much, and didn't feel like she was teetering on the verge of death, maybe she could check out the view. He jerked his head to the side, letting his eyes sweep over the horizon. They were a bit higher up now, and could see further out - all the way to the ocean now, and everything in between. "What do you think, Faite? Worth it?" A happy sigh fell from the older wolf's lips, content in their efforts and the end of their journey here.
