playing in the (early) snow

He released his little white friend, and awkwardly shuffled backwards. Instead of trying to turn again, he kicked out with his back leg a few times. Crumbling the snow wall he had created. He shuffled again, wiggling his butt until it free of their tiny cave. When he could, he turned around. Executing a little flip, his wings unfurling at his side and spinning in a sudden array of blue-black color. He grinned dancing a little on the spot, and extending a paw to his friend. "Its safe" he promised, looking out at the world of white. Quiet and calm after the sudden absence of the storm. Beautiful, a perfect picture, yet undisturbed by the world.

It wasn't long before Mortis dashed across the snow, like a puppy caught with a serious case of zooms. Saph had shuffled out of the cave by now, and taken to the air. Her green feathers flashing against the cloudless sky. Her sharp cry piercing the air.

Caught up in the excitement of the moment, Mortis dashed back to his friend. Skidding to a stop in a spray of snow. His nose quivering, freezing, an inch from that of Kaiyos. His tail moving side to side behind him. "We made it. Let's go find my pack, you can meet my mum, and get you settled in." He suggested. Wanting to sweep his friend into pack life and make him a part of home as soon as possible.
