The wind tugs at them, trying to pull the wolves from their resting spot but it is unsuccessful. As quickly as it begins, the grumbling thunder passes over the pair and silence takes its place. Blinking up at the dark clouds, a gentle smile appears on her red lips as she spies the first traces of snow making its way down to the earth.

Truthfully, in the wild moments of the storm, she had completely forgotten about the cold. However, as she stands, woolen cloak sticking heavily to her frame, she is quickly reminded of how utterly freezing she is. Teeth clatter together, she moves to follow Sirius, saying, “We’re still okay, the water won’t freeze yet. Still, the path will be slick. Please, be careful.” While she is saying the words to the Warlord, she is also voicing them as a reminder to herself.

The cold is slowly numbing her toes and she will need to be attentive to where she places her paws. As they descend, all Keahi can think about is how amazing a hot bath sounds right now.
