make a mark, plant a flag

Tyrian fought the smirk that threatened to play across his features as Keetie played along. He doubted he would have lasted so long on this adventure were it not for the woman who went with him. Though the journey had been slow and painful in a frostbite sort of way, not once had it been dull. Save for the rare serious moment they'd bickered and bantered amicably the whole while. Her presence warmed him in more ways than one. Going hand and hand with the attraction, he felt a bit of rivalry with her; the need to press on and do better, and maybe, if he wasn't asking too much, to come out a little ahead. No doubt that rivalry was what had kept him going. Tyrian didn't give up easy, but even he recognized they'd abandoned reason by venturing so far.

He sighed, the sound possibly swallowed up by the wind, and yelled back sarcastically, "How lucky I am to have found such an understanding travel companion!"

Finally land was in sight. Tyrian wasn't sure if it was the company, the rising hopeful feeling, or the steady shoving of the wind, but the return journey felt much quicker. That he could see the shoreline was no small comfort. It didn't hurt that once the land was reached the only thing standing between him and a little fun was the acquisition of a cave. Hell, he'd settle for a windfree nook at this point. "You know where we're going?" The cold wasn't really his thing so his knowledge of the North was limited. And the lands adjacent to this one? Those frosty hellscapes? He knew even less about them. Hopefully Keetie had a sense of where they could go to warm up.
