Riordan Courte Do whatever you want... Just don't get caught Ever moving and exploring, Riordan pushed further south. He skirted around a long line of claimed land - half of which appeared to be a volcano. He had stopped to stare when he realized what he was passing, wondering why anyone would wish to live in such a dangerous place. Maybe it was mostly dormant? A glance at the mount's sides and the hazy peak made him doubt the sanity of those living there before he moved on, following the flow of water. It seemed like the most logical thing to do in winter - find a mostly-frozen stream and keep to its bends and turns. While it was probably still a good water source for many large prey animals, he preferred to stick with the smaller ones that would fit nicely within his jaws without his brother to help. Riordan was many things, but a successful hunter he was not. He heard the springs before he spied them, and even felt the warmth and humidity wafting and calling him closer. His fur stood on end at the thought of something warm, and he hurried forward to find a true Eden within the trees. Pool after pool of steaming water lay before him, sending tingles up his legs and down his spine. Movement caught his eye, thought it still took a few seconds for him to pull his focus away from the inviting pools. Someone else seemed to have settled in before him, and the brute began to approach without much hesitation. He had a hunch that this place relaxed anyone who came near, so he wasn't too worried about spooking someone into a melee. He didn't try to be overly quiet as he moved closer either - his size didn't much allow for such luxuries, but it also clearly showed his intent. There seemed to be a couple critters floating about with the stranger, but Riordan's orange eyes were solely upon the man. "Don't you look comfortable and warm." Deep tones were laced with envy, wanting to test his company before he tested the waters. |
