Caedmon looked to the south, russet ears falling back along his skull at the storm way off in the distance. If they thought the snowy conditions were unsuitable now, he could only imagine how much worse it could get when the storm reached them. In his mind they had no choice but to continue east as Eirnan had suggested, and quickly at that. "You're right," he affirmed. The danger of a snowstorm was too risky to just wait it out in a cave nearby. A dry chuckle rumbled in his chest as the tawny female commented on their lack of directional choices. The world was funny that way, and it seemed to be herding them in a specific direction, but as to where Caedmon had no idea. He just hoped it was away from all this snow and ice. "If you think east is the best option we have, then I will follow." The russet male gently bumped his shoulder against hers, a small upturn of his lips in a smile on his face in an attempt to keep the mood somewhat lighthearted. It would do no good to let themselves fall into an emotional funk; survival was the top priority right now and they needed to be at the top of their game to make it in this cold and harsh winter. A look of distaste flashed upon his face at the mention of eating snow. No, that was definitely something Caedmon would rather avoid if at all possible. But if worst came to worst he would, though that did not mean he had to like it. "I agree," he said with a flick of his ears. If they wanted to avoid doing just that they would have to get a move on, and soon, for there was no telling when the storm would reach them. His gaze lifted upwards to stare at the sky, noting the thick layer of clouds up above. There was still daylight left, but at some point the sky would start to darken and the temperature drop even further. "We should get back to Quinn soon," he said, still looking up at the sky, eyes squinting slightly as another gust of icy wind blew snow in their faces. Caedmon did not like the group being separated for too long, as there were many things that could happen to a wolf when they were on their own. It was his sworn duty to protect his brother and Eirnan, and he had no intention of allowing harm to come to either of them. |
