Though snow was something he'd had plenty of experience with, sadly avalanches were not, and he wasn't fully convinced he'd made the right choice. At least it was better than trying to outrun the damn thing and breaking all his legs in the process of being pushed down the cliff, even if he ended up needing to dig himself out of the snow afterwards. He was mostly certain he could handle that part. Waiting as patiently (well, as patiently as one who was waiting to potentially be buried in snow could wait), he was relatively calm as he made to hunker down beside the stone. He certainly hadn't expected to see anyone else - why hadn't he seen them before? Admittedly he'd been focused on the impending onslaught of snow rather than whether or not anyone might be nearby, but it still caught him slightly off guard when he heard the approach of a stranger, coming at him from the other side of the rock as if on cue.

Oh my. Now wasn't he a sight for sore eye? Perhaps if he was about to die it wouldn't be quite so bad in the presence of someone like.. this. What caught his attention first was the pair of miniature antlers that lay at the top of his head. Holy fucking shit. Was this guy some kind of caribou-wolf god creature sent to save him? He only entertained the thought for a moment, knowing his thoughts were getting a bit whimsical.  "Something like that," Kai snorted, shaking his head at the ridiculousness of their predicament as well as the coincidence of the two of them finding this exact rock at the same time. At least it was big enough for both of them - Kai wasn't opposed to doing whatever he needed to in order to save his own hide, but he wasn't in the mood to start a fight with someone his size, and especially not one so.. fantastically handsome. Mmm.

But it wasn't the time for flirting, not really, and he let his thoughts shift as the rumbling of the ground grew closer and more pronounced. "You, uh, ever experience one of these before? Think we might die?" Death didn't necessarily scare Kai, but he didn't feel as though he'd lived long enough to be condemned to such a fate, so he'd claw his way tooth and nail out of a mountain of snow if he really had to. Today wouldn't be his last day in this world, and he had to hope this stranger beside him was thinking the same thing.
