Thousand Eyes [Avalanche]

*Kai* · 01-27-2019, 09:04 AM

His initial startled reaction quickly faded, giving way to a look that seemed far more interested and curious. Perhaps in the face of such a natural disaster he really ought to seem less worried about what they were about to experience, but Kai wasn't very good at worrying or looking ahead. Aesir quite quickly explained that he and his brothers were cursed, and that he was used to these sorts of things. Oh. Whoops. It didn't deter him from his fanciful thoughts that Aesir might be some kind of god incarnate, and he merely shrugged at his comment. "I suppose it's my unlucky day then," he quipped with a faint grin. He vaguely believed in curses, though he didn't have enough information to assess whether this man was really cursed or just had poor luck.

Either way, it didn't deter him. Not that he could really just flee the scene if he did want to. Nah, he'd rather face a brush with death with someone else, especially a hunk like this one. Again, his whimsical thoughts didn't have much time to fully take root, for before long the rumbling was even louder, shaking as though they were caught in some kind of earthquake. They weren't given much warning when the avalanche hit, and though Kai moved to hunker down as best he could, he hadn't been fully prepared for the impact. Snow came barreling in from both sides of the boulder they'd found, but the pocket of air didn't last for long. The snow, initially like walls around them, seemed to slowly be crumbling in on their little safe haven. Fuck, this isn't good.

He heard Aesir's shouting, garbled from the loud rumbling, and did as he instructed. He took in a few deep breaths and held them, feeling the pressure of more snow as it began to weigh down on him. As the avalanche roared on, seconds turning into what felt like minutes, Kai realized with a start that Aesir was no longer at his side - he'd been replaced by a wall of snow and Kai tried not to panic. He'd managed a small pocket of air himself but he wasn't sure how long it would remain before the snow continued to pile down on him. Though he felt a seed of panic sprout in his chest, he tried to quench it and focus on digging. The snow felt heavier than any snow he'd encountered before as he tried to kick toward the surface and dig as hard as he could. He was worried about accidentally bringing more snow down on him, but he took another deep breath and pressed on, panting heavily now.
