Too cold

As she trotted along at an easy pace to one of the lands near her home, paws crunching on the layer of frost that covered the ground and breath hanging int he air with each exhale, Rhea wondered how soon the first snow would be. If she had to wager, she'd say pretty soon. It was positively freezing out today, so cold she was honestly keeping an eye out for any flakes drifting through the air. Just in case. Wouldn't wanna miss the first snow!

Sometimes she forgot there was a whole world out here to explore and enjoy outside of Abaven. Honestly, Rhea was very much the sort that could never leave home and be perfectly content. Unfortunately she'd come to decide that she needed to leave more if she was going to become a better hunter. You couldn't only look for prey in one place after all. Her mission to practice tracking again was quickly diverted in favor of investigating the lake though. The surface seemed to be entirely frozen solid, and she wondered just how thick the ice actually was.

Settling on the sandy shore, the cautious young woman would stretch out a limb to lightly press on the ice. When it didn't crackle of groan in protest, her pointy ears perked with interest and a hopeful look passed over her dark, fairy-like face. Rhea wasn't as brave as her brothers, so she didn't immediately try to walk on the ice but rather switched to putting both front paws on the ice while remaining on the shore. Man, she really wanted to try sliding across it but she also really did not want to fall in...
