Kaiyo was quickly settling into his new home, much easier than he ever expected to. Everything was so different, the pack, the culture, and more importantly the wolves. Hika knew he wouldn’t have settled in near as comfortably or easily without his friend’s help. They’d been fast friends too, like nothing he’d ever experienced back to home. Mortis wanted to be friends because of who he was, not what he could gain from their relationship. He was refreshing and easier to be around than anyone Hikaru had known in what felt like a past life.

Had he not found the winged boy Kaiyo wondered if he would even still be here. He could have been wandering around in the snow for the rest of his life, and with how cold his toes had been wouldn’t have been very long. He was at least a little warmer now, but he kept close to the beaches where the wind was still warm from the unchanging ocean. Hopefully Mortis would show him those hot springs he’d mentioned.

Thoughts of being warm again filled his mind as he looked out over the archipelago. Stormy eyes as gray as the day. The sun refused to come out, and that partially made it seem colder than it was.
