Brutus had just been thinking of leaving the Cove when the storm hit, heavy snow blanketing the palm trees of their shores in a weird effect. He decided it was best to wait the storm out in one of the nearby dens he'd constructed by digging sand out of the secure parts of the lava rock. He didn't expect it to storm so hard at the cove, and the whole occurance confused him when he referenced everything he'd learned about the coast so far.

He had a feeling that the storm was strong enough to do some damage, but still he fell asleep in the comfort of his den sometime during the night. When he woke up, he was surprised by the darkness in the den even though he was sure that daylight should have woke him up long ago. The thick smell of the ice and snow felt clean as it entered his nostrils, frost hanging on the air in front of his maw with every breath he exhaled; how much snow had the storm left?

The tall brute quickly got to work, both of his forepaws moving in a blur as they pulled out snow. Occassionally he'd roll in the looser parts, trying to find the weak areas of the wall that he could break down and make a stairway to get himself out. It seemed like it took forever, but finally he breached the surface and stood tall as a lone fleck of brown across a sea of white. His blue eyes were wide as he remained captivated, adoring the beauty that could be found in such a circumstance despite the destruction.

He had no doubt that Xephyris and the others would be dedicated to help each other, though the thought did cross his mind to check on them first. Ultimately, he decided against it- too driven by his need to understand as his paws marched carefully over the snow on his way out of the cove. He needed to make his way to the source of the snow and find out if they were at risk for any further avalanches. Did they need to relocate, where there others in need of help, and how much snow could the mountain hold back before it sent more down to the cove?

He silently cursed himself for not having been at the mountain last night, perhaps he could have warned Vyper of the oncoming avalanche. Paws seemed to move with more diligence as the lanky giant carefully started his way through the mountain pass. It was blocked off almost immediately by snow and uprooted pines, so for the moment the brute just stood there studying the best strategy for getting around them.
