Weather brings us together

Grey? Specter had to arch his brow at the name the other wolf gave. If anything, his fur color gave him the impression he would be called Red, not Grey. It was a nice name though, a simple one, and one that would be easier for the loner to remember. The silver and white-furred male allowed his gaze to linger on Grey for but a moment, but as the rain continued to fall, chilling both of them to the bone he let his gaze travel back to the mountain. Right now they needed to worry about shelter, especially with the wind blowing as it was. He was already feeling a shiver running through him.

“It is no trouble at all. Loners need to stick together, especially in this sort of weather.” Specter told him as he walked along at a brisk pace, hoping that soon the cave they would need could be found. A cave would definitely be preferable. The longer they stuck out here the more likely the rain they were in would chill them to the point of getting sick, something that he was sure neither of them wanted. He wasn’t exactly a healer, and he wasn’t sure if Grey knew anything about the craft. That could mean needing to find outside help…

But then Grey mentioned that he was sure he could see a cave in the distance and Spec perked his ears forward. Peering through the rain, sure enough, he could see a cave on the mountainside. He had no idea how deep it was, but it would be dry, and with the two of them there it would certainly be warmer than being out here. “Come on. Let’s run for it!” The adrenaline from the run would get their blood pumping and get them warmer too.

Specter lead the way, racing all the way to the cave, though by the time he crossed the stone threshold into it he was panting. He made his way deeper into the cave and peered over his shoulder to make sure Grey was still coming. He hoped he hadn’t left the slightly younger wolf too much in the dust. Once they were both in the cave they would need to move a bit further in, away from the entrance to avoid the chill of the air blowing in on them. Then they could worry about getting dry and warm.
