let it snow

navigate the broken world

A faint grin etched her features, though it was hard to maintain with the biting winds that whipped around them. It came with the territory, with their harsh landscape and even harsher weather. She knew it was important to keep the morale up between them in order to make it through. She prayed for an early and quick spring because she truly longed for the summer months that she knew lay ahead. She looked forward to finding a cave that hopefully sheltered them for the winds. She wanted nothing more than to curl up alongside her mate and sleep the darkness away. The day had been terribly eventful, and admittedly she preferred it be dull.

She started to move when Caed mentioned following her, a soft nod on her features as she started her venture. It was not long before she caught sight of her mate, a soft smile on her face as she moved forward, halting when she saw him tumble with a soft and slightly amused chuckle. “Are you alright, Love?” The question was laced with concern but also humorous in nature, gently bumping her maw against his for a moment in greeting as he scurried to his feet. The question fell and she hummed with a nod. Food sounded wonderful, and she was certain in that moment she felt her stomach start to grumble, clearly awoken with the idea of putting food in it. “Aye, and then we should try and find someplace sheltered for the night. The sun will be setting soon, and with the storms as thick as they are we will not be able to see the stars. Travelling by night would be dangerous.” She mused aloud, having clearly thought about this beforehand.

They were working with limited daylight, but food was just as important as water, and would sate them for some time as they continued their ventures, through to the east and then hopefully south afterwards. “And we’ll want to start east and then south first thing in the morning. The sooner we get to even slightly warmer temperatures, the more happy I will be.”
