A frozen Waste

As Thane sat in the snow he waited for Cyril to return. He wondered what was keeping his friend the long time. His ear twitched as he stood up and waited a moment. His aqua blue eyes shone in the light as he then raised his muzzle and howled. After he howled he perked up his white lined ears listening for a reply. Off into the distance he heard an eagle screech and he knew it was Cyril. When the bird arrived it came with two mice in its talons.

"I suppose you two would have needed something to set aside your hunger when you woke up." he said

As he landed on Thane's shoulder he dropped the two mice on the ice and began to groom is feathers.

"So, how did you two fare last night, I didn't miss anything did I. I certainly braved the fall of snow as you two were all snuggled up and warm." he said with a smile.

As Cyril waited for their reply he nodded towards his master.

Thane pushed one of themice over to Ookami and he wanted to know what Cyril had to say about what lay ahead but first he would eat.
