The windy afternoon, weirdly enough, was a welcome distraction for the oversized Jarvela. The bitter cold brought on by winter's impending arrival was the sort that seemed to cut straight to your very core, but despite the discomfort, it was drawing this particular wolf's attention away from his aching face - something he was very, very grateful for. He found himself thanking the gods for such a welcome distraction today, focusing on today's journey rather than the unexpected pain that had started to ail him. Still staying in the north as he had promised himself he would, today Kai's aimless wandering found himself directly in the middle of a massive pine forest. Kai had a feeling he'd been here before, but then again much of the north looked similar, especially the forested areas. He let out a huff as he walked, his pace finally slowing as he searched for something - anything - to keep his interest. The scent of a stranger definitely intrigued him, and he veered off-course to investigate. Conversation was an even better distraction than the weather was, that he was sure about that much, and he was always intrigued by finding those who cared to journey to the north just before the most treacherous season of the year was due to arrive. Currently the cold was bearable, but he knew soon the snows would begin and existing so far north would become much more difficult - those who weren't ready for it might suffer quite a bit, or be forced further south. Lumbering on, he only paused when he caught the glimpse of who he supposed was the bearer of the scent he'd caught - a lanky tan female, resting at the base of a tree. The scent of the porcupines caught his attention afterward, and he was cautious as he approached, not wanting to disturb the woman nor the prey. "Thinking about a snack?" Kai asked after closing most of the distance between them, his voice laced with amusement as he saw the prickly creatures out of the corner of his vision. |
