What in the Hell

He was grateful that the woman beside him did not linger longer in the other cavern and continued making her way towards the mouth of the cave, but he kept the relief from his dark face as his long strides fell into step with her. Jynn answered his question without any aversion and he found himself smiling at her reasoning. This woman wanted to brave the severe winter just because she wanted to see what it was like? In the past he had seen battle harden warrior whine like little pups about the winter air and snow but here is this strange long-legged wolf going up north in winter for funsies. He for one was grateful that Valhalla was in the southern region and the winters were not as back...Or at least this one. From what he had gathered, this had been a rather strong winter than usual. "You are much braver than I." his hushed toned voice rumbled in admittance. The further they traveled, the rock below his paws was growing cooler with each step and his pace slowed ever so slightly out of response of his paws nearly burning before. "If you ever find yourself this way again, you must tell me what the north sea is like. I have yet to travel that far. One day, maybe I will." he continued, a blue eye glancing in her direction.

Finally he could make out the mouth of the cave and feel the chilled air drafting in, causing a large shiver to run down his spine in response. He closed his eyes for a moment as he found relief as his body began to cool but he soon stopped just inside the cave. "Might be a good idea to wait a moment for our bodies to adjust to the difference in temperature. Im sure the sudden change would not be very healthy. Certainly now is not a good time to get sick" he rumbled, his face turning to find hers. Of course the strange wolf could go her separate way if she so wished but he would wait a few minutes before he moved on. Already, his heavy pants had eased into a lighter, more relaxed pace. Still, he knew he would have to drink water or eat some snow to replenish the water he had lost in the lava chamber.
