breaking out

Finding a place to stay the night safely was difficult for the young pup. He wasn't the tallest, so the snow was hard to traverse for his shorter, stumpier legs. It was starting to get frustrating, and the eerie blue glow wasn't helping much with his growing anxiety about being out here alone. Maybe tonight wasn't such a good night to leave home, maybe it would have been smarter to wait until the eventual morning. Raure didn't know why he thought this was the better idea, but had to settle with his decision anyway and was now paying for it.

A voice called out from behind him, scaring the young boy that was doing his best to avoid any strangely glowing snow or plants that managed to erupt from said snow. Eyes the color of the fireflies turned to face the grown man, clearly surprised to see anyone else out here. He wasn't alone! Someone maybe that could help him, either find a place to stay, something to eat, or both if he was lucky!

"Yes!" He said, his tail beginning to wag happily. "What's happening? Is this glowing stuff normal?" He was young, so for all he knew, this was completely normal for winter.
