One last day of fun

Pestilence had realized that she was putting too much pressure on herself lately between the raid, the fight with Toxicity, her planned departure from Ashen and her hopeful moving into Fireside the yearling had a lot on her mind. The day would be coming soon where she said her goodbyes and made her way out of the Empire's embrace, and before that day would come Pestilence had decided to give herself one last afternoon of fun. Pasketti had told her about a game wolves played in the snow and how they would build a sled out of a log and ride it down a snowy hill. It sounded like exactly what she needed, and Pesto immediately went out in search of somewhere with a good enough sloped hill to participate.

Southern Boreas got less snow then the north, though this particular morning it had fell enough to stick to the ground and Pesto was sure it would at least remain until her fun was over. She knew she wanted to work as quickly as she could before it melted, and so she started off early in the morning. Finding an appropriately sized tree was the hardest part in the barren land but there were a few to choose from if she looked hard enough. Pasketti had brought a blade to strip the bark with, and hide to lay atop the bark to try and give it enough thickness to hold her weight. Pesto worked fast helping her companion to strip the tree, lay the bark and reinforce it. When the hard work was done, they'd be able to have a sled race just the two of them... though Pesto might need to find something to weight the monkeys sled down so Pasketti didn't have an advantage in the race due to her lighter size.
