Oh dear, what have we here?

The cold is bracing, and Erik leans into it. There's something glorious about it, something that draws him in. Captures him. Makes him feel like he's at home in this world. Born to it, raised by it, and it would be one of the constants from the lives before this and on into the next. He can rely on the cold. He can rely on the air in his lungs (though what it did once it hit his throat was a different story). He can rely on his paws beneath him and the stars above him. All things that make sense, at least to Erik, at least for now.

The soft patter of raindrops on leaves, coupled with his steps across the soft earth manage to put him at peace. Akito has the good sense not to speak, not really. Perhaps in their own way. It's enough. Erik peers to the greyscale brother, orange gaze cool as he assesses. He lengthens his stride some, falling into step with the boy. A soft sigh as he does. They will walk together, and enjoy the woods.

Enjoy them quietly, as they best were. They wind through the trees, stately as they are. The cover they provide and the ground they cover, it's enough. Erik feels safe beneath them. For such a large boy to feel so small... it's strange. Comforting, and strange. All at the same time.
