Into The Maw of The Storm

Now this was a storm. Already the storm had begun to brew into something potentially dangerous, though he'd gone too far to turn back now. Heading back down the way he'd come might prove as dangerous as trying to traverse the mountain pass and find somewhere to hide out the remainder of the storm. Either way the journey was quite a dangerous one, fraught with risks, and he was grateful for a little company that was as foolish as he was. Kai wasn't going to complain. Narrowly avoiding a rather slick bend in the path, he regained his composure and loped ahead, trying to gain traction on the rocks that were rapidly becoming more icy as the snow began to stick.

"That's alright, I've seen worse views!" Kai quipped back, voice booming loudly out over the ambient noise all around them. The wind had begun to pick up, amplified by the rocks surrounding them; it wasn't quite what anyone would consider white-out conditions yet, but the storm was certainly ramping up in intensity. "I'm Kai," he returned the greeting, taking a few longer strides to close the distance between them as much as he could without falling to an early grave. Only when he got closer did he realize she was not quite a wolf at all, at least like one he'd ever met. But it didn't matter to him; as independent as he tended to be, he was glad to have company on this trek. "Headed anywhere in particular?" Briefly he cast a glance to the east; the snow that had begun to fall made it hard to see very far but there was a sharp drop-off, fading into nothingness further down.
