He blinked in surprise at the anger in Azure’s voice as he raced towards him. Had he… had he been running to save Mort's life? All this time, he was convinced his brother would leave him for dead if the chance ever arose, and yet he had raced to save the winged wolf. The fierce, protective anger met something in Mortis. Something that had always been there, but grew under his brother's anger. A need to protect him.

Pushing himself to his feet, he looked at the snarling spurred wolf, rubbing his side where it smacked into the ice, and holding his wings tightly to his body. He wasn’t sure if he had strained or sprained his wings, but they were definitely aching. He didn’t let it show on his face.

“Yeah, alright, I think I saw somewhere back by the tree line that might work.” he agreed, taking the lead his brother offered and moving away from the freezing, gusty bridge. He grimaced, knowing he wasn’t going to try walking on it again any time soon. He was built all wrong for the ice.

Taking them back, he found the thick pine trees along the ridge, heading to one which the branches swopped particularly low and offered some protection.
