His detour around the cliffs had been a bust. By the time he'd found a way down the beach he quickly realized that he was going to run into more pack territory to get through the area. Not wanting to trespass he had to back track. And back track some more. And some more. Even from here he could tell a completely different back bordered the one he'd just left behind. Since when did packs live right on top of one another? Maybe they were allies... or maybe there were just so many packs now that Boreas was just over crowded. If he didn't have his mission in mind he would have headed back down to Auster and tried his luck there. It was getting darker as night began to settle in. Glancing up at the cloudy sky he let out a sigh in a breath of puffy fog. He'd found himself back towards the waterfalls that were mostly frozen over. He managed to find a small trickle near the base of the falls. It was enough to stave off his thirst. He briefly thought of food, but it was a fleeting thought. He imagined most things would still be hibernating and he didn't feel like chasing something for however long through the thick snow. Finding a place to sleep was the more pressing matter at the moment. Food could wait until the morning when he wasn't so tired from his journey. Not seeing anything in the immediate area he wandered towards a thicket of trees and sniffed around for a while. Not seeing a suitable place he picked a spot out sheltered by one of the taller trees with thick brush. That would keep more snow from piling in on top of him while he slept should it choose to let loose again. Taking a note out of his old man's book, he began to dig down past the first layer of ice revealing the softer layer underneath. It wasn't perfect, but he could curl himself up overnight and lay his tail over his nose to conserve body heat. It would due temporarily. He twirled around in a circle a few times before flopping down tiredly and closing his eyes. He curled himself into a tight ball and let out another huff instantly warming the area around his face as he breathed into the thick fluff of his tail. Yeah, this would do just fine for tonight.
