Deep Freeze

The winter was feeling rather bitter this time around. He was still working on his plans for the pack and had yet to find anyone up for joining him. Serene had gone on another adventure, which he was happy she was getting out and exploring, but it left him alone and without the company of any friends. It was difficult to be without company when he grew up with such a large family, but he was keeping himself busy with his work. When he wasn't sleeping he was deep within one of the storage dens continuing what work he could. Dirt couldn't be moved because the ground was frozen, but he had other things that needed to be done. The things he had already collected were neatly organized and he had to be sure there was nothing getting in and ruining them.
He hadn't had much trouble keeping warm, not with his thick winter coat. And it helped his empty den was well lined with pelts so that he remained comfortable when he slept. Today though he had felt rather restless, especially with the last snow storm having him secluded to his den for a full day. So he headed away from his home today, curious to see what damage the storm had made and look to see if it blew anything interesting in. Most of his morning was spent moving through the thick layer of snow, checking the borders of the willows. His search had come up rather uneventful he decided to go further.
The further he went the warmer it grew, the layer of snow on the ground also thinning. Then he remembered were he was heading, the springs. Grinning he picked up his pace wondering if a short dip in one of the pools would be good for his muscles.
