It's a long way back down
for Oki

It'd definitely been a trickier feat than he'd expected, and by the time he reached the top of the wall he could feel the strain in his neck and shoulders from pulling himself up. Surely Oki was feeling something similar though. It wasn't like Bronze was some small wolf that he could easily drag up. He appreciated the effort though once he finally reached the top and straightened out, trying to keep his balance as he slowly spun around and adjusted his weight. The wall was decently wide at the top, and definitely gaze a good vantage point of the world beyond. It was so different here in this tundra, different from the tightly-packed forests that he was so used to.
"Wow," he breathed in quiet wonder as he gazed at the world beyond. This was kinda like where the frozen ship was, except there was a vast expanse of sea bordering those lands. Here though everything was just ice, only small bits of shrubbery and vegetation breaking up the terrain. Oki's statement did make him think though. Facing the opposite direction - directly opposite of the way his new friend had come - Bronze began to stride forward, glancing over his shoulder as if expecting the other boy to follow. "Yeah, I guess I do wonder sometimes. My mom says the world's a scary place though. Better to stay together and keep the ones close to you safe. That's what she tells me, at least," he explained with a soft sigh. "I dunno though, I do wanna see more of the world. Can't just be snow and trees forever. There's this wall, so there must be more," he mused thoughtfully.
