Call to the Void

Why he found the cold weather so exhilarating, well, Kai couldn't easily explain. There was something intoxicating in the unforgiving weather of the north, in the way the wind seemed to cut straight to his core; there was breathtaking beauty to be found in even the most desolate, stark terrain, and then.. there were his family's beloved reindeer, which was just another reason for him to long for the northern lands. Novis didn't seem so convinced, though, and his comment told Kai that much. He let loose a low chuckle, remembering the encounters he'd had up north in his younger years, skating on the slick ice and exploring the vast snowdrifts that seemed so common in those lands. "Bit of a voyeur, are we?" Kai teased lightly at his comment, though his voice was more playful than anything. Kai hummed softly at Novis's explanation of the bridge that connected this continent to another land, truly curious now. He wasn't interested enough to abandon his plans for the upcoming season, though - no, he had his sights set on spending the winter as far north as he could possibly go. "I wish you luck in your adventures, Novis. Who knew the world had so much to offer us?" His grin was slightly impish, despite the earnest tone of his voice. He'd heard tales of how vast the world was from his father, who'd traveled more than he ever expected to, and he owed his wanderlust to him too. He had a curious heart that he doubted would ever be fully sated, hence his free-spirited ways. "Think anyone would be able to scale these cliffs?" Kai asked conversationally after a moment of thoughtful silence, certainly not daring him, only wondering if he thought them as dangerous as Kai did. |
