Hail Mary

He had been up pretty early this morning. The clouds that had made their way over the southern lands were dark and heavy, blown in by the cold winds of the north. He wore a cloak that his uncle had given him pulled up high against his neck and shoulders to try and keep a little warmer. He made his rounds on the border, chased off a fox that tried to sneak into the hen house, and was now on his way back to meet his uncle for a training session they had planned. While on his way, it started to hail. The hail pelted him, bouncing off the ground, and when there was enough of it on the ground, he found himself slipping and sliding on the grass. He tried to be careful, but the mud created by the rain made it difficult, too.

He made it at least, to the lean-to shelter he had put up at the start of the season. He sat and looked out at the fields as the hail started to drop faster. Harder. He wondered if his uncle was still going to show up or if he decided to cancel class because of the weather. Looking up, he spotted his uncle's companion and grinned, knowing then that he was on his way. Within a few short minutes, Cloud showed up, asking if he was ready. "Aye, you bet yer furry arse I am!" He stood, stretching his limbs before stepping out into the elements. "Get ready old man!" He playfully grinned before throwing himself forward.

His uncle was used to his prompt starts, and this time was no different. Finan made to close the short distance between them, looking to throw his shoulder into Cloud's chest in an effort to shove him back. His back foot slipped in the mud and hail bits on the ground, making his shoulder throw less...effective. And when he turned to try and bite, he realized he wasn't getting as good a grip as he wanted.
