Scald realizes now that he probably shouldn't have gone out this far west. So far, nothing had interested him and he hadn't come across anyone of interest. Plus this storm was absolutely ridiculous. What with the water that rushed over the ground and filled every nook and cranny it could find. Even the wind whipped up around him and made it even harder to see. Hell, he could barely see his paws as he walked! Bracing against the gusts and sheets of rain that battered his body, Scald continued to try and make his way out of the storm to somewhere safer. Through the storm that has suddenly rolled in, Scald hears a sharp bark behind him. Suddenly on guard, the lanky boy turns to face the stranger. Both ears flatten as his eyes squint against the onslaught of rain falling down around them. Scald knew he was stupid enough to be out in this torrential downpour, but he wasn't expecting anyone else to be that stupid either. Maybe this guy would know the best way to get out of the territory faster than the way he was going... Approaching the shadowy stranger, Scald looks at him apprehensively. "Ahoy," he calls out as he stops a few feet away. His mouth opens once more to say something, but a sudden shaking of the ground beneath him has his eyes widening. Looking at his paws and then at the terrain around him, he sees a rush of mud and water coming straight for them. "Oh, oh, fuck!" Scald yells as he looks back at the other boy. "Listen, race me to get out of the way! We can chat once we're safe!" He yells out before quickly spinning to the side and taking off. His paws slam into the wet ground as his legs stretch out into a dead run. There is only one glance over his shoulder to see if the other boy is following behind or even trying to race him... wc: 332 = 962/1500
