Into the night

He heard the sound of pawsteps and turned. He wasn’t terribly alarmed, with the sound originating from within pack territory. He had expected a patrolling wolf to have come to inspect him. Instead, he was surprised by the appearance of Artorias. The Alpha came well prepared, holding out a coat to Mercury. He may have gotten used to the cold after living in the frozen North, but that didn’t mean he particularly appreciated it. He took the offering with a soft nod. “Much appreciated” he said, sliding it over his shoulders.

“I hope you didn’t stay awake on my account” Mercury said, shifting the coat and then starting moving again. He suspected Art wouldn’t mind the walk through the light snow, considering he had already come all this way. “I suspect I won’t find sleep an easy task for a while. Would you like to spar?” He suggested. It might be a good way for both wolves to blow off some steam.
