Breaking Into New Territory

Malik walked along at his father's side, looking around wide eyed at the fat, soft snow flakes that were falling around them, a big grin on his face. "Look at how much of it there is!" he exclaimed, his tail wagging a mile a minute. For the most part his parents had kept them around Auster in the warmer regions, or so he had been told by his parents during his extensive questioning of what other kinds of places were out there in the world, but as soon as he was told how it was actually winter in the northern continent and there was something called "snow" everywhere he just had to go see it! He talked his father into taking him up there and as an added bonus it was just the two of them! He loved his sisters of course, but who wouldn't like a little one on one time with their dad?

He loved going hunting with his dad so of course that had to be included in their trip too. They came out to this open prairie, but immediately he noticed that not only was there not a bunch of trees or brush to hide behind like he was used to, but they stood out drastically against the stark white backdrop of all the snow. On top of that everything just smelled cold. He smelled around a bit and everything just smiled wet and damp and cold—almost like any scents that might have been around were covered up by the snow or the scents couldn't stick to the snow at all. He turned his light brown and mint hazel eyes up toward his father who he was quickly catching up to in height, giving him a questioning look. "How're we gonna find something to hunt? Or hide from them out here?"
