Creak, crack, crunch

Seumas reciprocated Mercury's friendly grin with a small smile of his own. This wolf seemed so carefree. He was lucky to have survived his encounter with the white bears. They were grumpy sods, so they were. Never knew when to pick their battles. Seumas would be a happy wolf if he never had to meet one of them again.

"Mmm I can't say I blame you. Somewhere warmer is where I'm headed." As soon as he got his bearings and off of this damned beach. Maybe this new acquaintance would be able to point him in the right direction, if he had the experience travelling this area as it seemed.

"That would be very appreciated Mercury." he answered. "Being on the road tends to get your appetite going like nothing else." Seumas stood and looked towards the cave systems. The promise off a meal would have to trump his cave skittishnesh.
