Jingle Bells

His comment about winter being the best earned a soft bout of laughter and a wide grin, as well as a nod of agreement. "Same here, same here," he offered easily, finding his tail waving behind him as though to emphasize his words. "I'm a bit surprised to find someone as foolish as me to adventure out to an island when it looks like a blizzard could be on its way, but I won't complain," Kai snorted with a soft bout of laughter as his gaze shifted to the sky, watching some of the flakes fall to the earth. The darkening clouds told a story of what was to come, even if the atmosphere was rather pleasant at the moment. Cloudy, but not at all unfavorable in his eyes.

The mood shifted a bit at the mention of Asgeira, it becoming immediately clear that he knew her. "Ah, you're the brother she spoke of, then!" Kai exclaimed, beaming even more brightly now as his focus fell back to Jouko. The resemblance was uncanny, despite the fact that their coats were different colors - their markings were alarmingly similar. He felt his spirit soar at being around another kindred soul - even if the other man hadn't realized it yet, they were of similar culture. Amusement brimmed in his eyes as he watched Jouko lower his head, noting similarities in their personalities amidst the slight differences.

"I ran across her recently, in the pine forest back on the mainland. Believe it or not, I'm a Jarvela. Not born back in the group, but here." His tail slapped the snow-caked earth happily as he explained - hardly noticing that another wolf had noticed them and was approaching. "Aukusti is my grandfather, and my father's name is Aki. He left the group many years ago, so here I am."

His attention shifted suddenly when he heard the crunching of snow beneath someone's paws, head snapping to the side to see who had decided to join them. It was Aggie! Really?! He nearly yelped for joy at the arrival of the female, his eyes truly shining now. "Were your ears burning? How'd you know we were talking about you?" He asked playfully, only half-joking - he was probably less surprised than he should've been at her presence, instead merely grateful to see her once again. He was less impressed by Yvla, though shot her a quick glare before returning to focus on the two wolves. "And I have met this handsome kin of yours. He's been behaving.. but just barely," Kai was happy to jest, flashing Jouko a wink in turn. "I'm happy you're just as foolish as the two of us, by the way. I couldn't ask for better wolves to find myself caught in a blizzard with, I don't think." He raised his eyebrows, assessing the sky once more, and wondering how much longer they had before they'd need to seek shelter.
