Take a chance

Walk | Talk | Think

She loved seeing the warmth pouring out of Glacier's smile, how it seemed to turn the icy silver of his eyes into something molten and alive. It seemed weird to her in retrospect that she had taken to him so quickly, that he had managed to make her call him "friend" so soon after they had met, and now to be so willing to venture off with him in search of a place for him and his family to settle. She should have been more cautious, should have been more wary, and yet Anais felt like she could trust him, the same as she could Lebrah. It was something different, something almost innate, and she was glad of it. It was much more fun to have friends like Lebrah and Glacier than never being able to trust others, especially since she found so much trouble in trusting herself.

Even more enjoyable than seeing him smile, however, was hearing him laugh. The sound was deep, rumbling, and yet jovial, her question apparently tickling his sense of humor. Only when he began to describe the land that he sought did she begin to understand what had been so funny, and just a little she felt her smiling expression falter faced with the task she had signed up for. A land that was warm and cold and in the mountains and under the earth? Her brows drew together slightly as she peered at him, confusion settling in. That was an awfully steep order! But with a bunch of siblings, as she was aware, getting everyone to agree was not always the easiest and quickest thing.

She pondered quietly to herself where she ought to direct their adventure. Mountains and cold she suspected could have been found in the very north, a place that she had not spent much time in. Here in the south was typically warm, and she was sure there was a scar in the land somewhere nearby that enabled underground travel. But they were all locations spaced out and far apart, nothing conveniently containing all four descriptors. Poor Glacier. He had his work cut out for him. "That might be tough..." she thought aloud, though one place in particular stood out for her as one to stay well away from. The incident that had changed her life had occurred in the west, and after the look she had received from the wolf when he had been forced away from her by her family she knew better than to think she was safe to venture there now. "Maybe if we travel here in the east? There's even packs around here if you wanted to look at them?" she offered, tail wagging in a show of hope and eagerness. At some point even her family was likely going to leave this place, and being able to leave the Fjord with someone that she trusted, and someone she suspected her brothers might actually trust to protect her, made her more eager to go than anytime before.
