let it snow

When Eirnan had spotted sources of water to the south and east, the trio made plans to move further down south. Caedmon dutifully followed a small distance behind the tawny female, always on the lookout for any lurking predators and dangers. But this and seemed lifeless so far, however that did not ease his mind. There were more dangers than simply other creatures: unseen crevasses hidden beneath the snow, potential avalanches from the nearby snowy peaks, or even a sudden blizzard that could leave them lost and freezing to death.
When she came to a halt he too, stopped, eyes watching her curiously as she seemed to survey their surroundings. While he did not have much knowledge on navigating the world he knew Eirnan did, and so he observed silently. As a gust of icy wind blew a flurry of snow particles in their faces the russet male narrowed his eyes, head turning to the side to try and stop the worst of it from hitting him directly in the face. This place was not very pleasant to be in, and he would be glad once they travelled to warmer lands. When the winds died down Caedmon stepped closer to the tawny female until he was standing next to her, deciding it would be easier to protect her if he was right by her side.
Russet ears pricked when she spoke, lips pulling tight in a grim expression at her words. He trusted her judgement, so if she said they could not head south then he would believe her, but that meant they needed to come up with a new plan of action. "That is unfortunate," he rumbled, voice tinged with disappointment when she told him the water was not drinkable. At least they had not travelled too far from the lake where Eirnan had first discovered the potential water source, but that meant it would take that much longer to find a spot where the trio could quench their thirst. "Where do you suggest we head next, then?" Caedmon queried, yellow eyes glancing to look at her as his brows furrowed in a thoughtful expression. He remembered she said there was another water source to the east, and so wondered if that would be their next destination.
