Ice Cubes and Broken Spouts

The slapping of the water paused when Natha spoke, stating that it could have been a hole that filled with water over time. The wolf hummed thoughtfully as he rocked back onto his heels, nose wrinkling as he remembered the smell when he took a sniff at it as well. His green eyes scanned the horizon, taking in everything else that was covered in ice and snow. "It's not frozen though," he stated, squinting as he carefully leaned in to get a closer look. He didn't see any ripples of water, looking like the water was completely still. If it was being fed from the ocean, it would be too salty to freeze over, but he couldn't detect salt water in the air. "It doesn't seem to be fed by flowing water..." It made his tan marked brows pull together, concerned at this random hole in the earth. As he kept on slapping it, Natha seemed amused and stated that it wasn't hot. He nodded, letting his paw rest along the top for a moment. It wasn't warm, but it wasn't cold either. That thought made his face scrunch up further, looking up to meet the cat's gaze as she took a taste, telling him of its foul taste. "I'm not sure, something doesn't seem quite right about this..." As if on queue, the earth below them grumbled, shaking the ground that Lyulf stood on. His blunt claws clung to whatever they could as he darted backwards and away from the hole, worried that he would fall in. Worry pulled at his features, making sure that Natha was unscathed by the whole event. Never before had he felt the earth groan like that, not unless there was an avalanche. |
