Free If We Want It

Bronze was feeling restless and he was on the search for something to pique his interest. It was a surprisingly mild day compared to most he'd experienced so far in his relatively short life. That wasn't to say it wasn't cold - no, it was always at least a little cold. The north seemed to be frozen solid, with wind that always had a bitter bite to it, but today was just a bit less cold. He felt the warmth from the sun beating down on his back, spreading across his slate blue coat and warming him to the core. It left him feeling energized - not that a child his age had any lack of motivation, not really - and made him walk with a slight hop to his step that he didn't normally possess.

But what he wanted to do he wasn't quite sure. He sniffed at the ground as he neared the S.S. Antiox, noting Onyx's scent was just below him. Maybe she'd have some ideas? He picked up his pace as he veered around the big frozen ship, trailing after her scent as it grew stronger and stronger. Finally he let out a bark to announce his presence to her, wondering where she was. Maybe she was exploring inside the ship? He wasn't sure if they were supposed to go in there but... it did look interesting, he decided, as he peeked inside one of the openings into the dark metal vessel.
