polar plunge

Hikaru was so at ease because Mortis easily put him there, the winged heir was kind and sweet. Kaiyo was able to get comfortable very fast, if not half frozen he was at least settled. Mortis gave him a smile as his massive frame shifted closer once the fire was blazing. Hikaru easily leaned against the young heir, soaking in the natural heat that radiated off his dark body. The koi boy sighed heavily in contentment and leaned against Mort’s shoulder. Only a few moments passed before he stopped shivering. He was still wet, but the now clean pale fur was slowly drying.

Mortis settled in, lowering his head to his paws before yawning and agreeing. They had a very long day, battling a snow storm, traversing the lands, him joining a pack, and swimming in a frozen river. With his head against Mort’s shoulder he could feel the exhaustion now that his body stopped moving. He was cozy and warm and for what seemed like the first moment in his life Kaiyo felt safe. ”Thanks, Mortis.” He mumbled softly as his stormy eyes fluttered closed. ”For making me feel at home.” Hika sighed softly again as sleep pulled and tugged him away.
