Kefka had been trying to scout out lands across Boreas that were warmer than the lands up north. But it didn’t seem to matter everywhere he went. They seemed lucky to catch a break from falling snow but that didn’t stop it from staying in mounds through the lands. Wolves seemed to travel mostly on the same paths especially if the snowfall was heavy. And where most wolves would be safe inside their dens most of the time, when they were forced to come out resources were scarce to come by. It was harder for loners for sure, and Relm couldn’t help but feel useless to her father while she was still young and learning to hunt and all that. While Kefka scouted the lands and may have searched for a meal for them, she was left by the falls to do her usual self-exploring. The height of the snow came past her knees, but she tried her best to wade through it rather than catapult around. At least it wasn’t snowing for now. She traveled along the stream with her blind side against it, but slowing to turn her head and look at the frozen edges of the bank. Eventually she came to the magical pools of the falls, the frozen nature of it was absolutely stunning even to her. She just watched silently as a slow and steady stream went through each pool, cased in ice along the rims. Was there anyone else around to witness too? She would need her focus broken to notice if someone was nearby. Walk "Talk" Think

Hazel found herself in yet another treacherous land. At least this time she had a guide.  Barnabas had finally found her. This time he took the shape of a primate and, if she were being honest, it was a welcome change. This one stood tail enough for Hazel to hold his tail which made traveling easier. Although anything was an improvement over her traveling alone. If possible she wished to avoid doing that ever again. Should it happen of course she would survive, but it had been a challenge - one she had no desire to repeat.

With a splash Hazel was suddenly past her wrist in a frozen puddle and fighting for balance. Her tail flagged behind her as she struggled to right herself. Barnabas, who had been walking in front of her and should have warned her, nearly had his tail bitten off on accident. "My apologies, my lady!" The monkey flailed his hands worriedly and tried to help her climb free of the puddle. What would have been easy for someone else was a struggle when one couldn't see the edge. It took several tries and the guiding hands of Barnabas to get Hazel planted solidly on the ground again. By the time they were done she was cold and wet, and the pair had made a ton of noise, but what could they do?

The struggling was enough for Relm to break her from the beauty she found before her, turning to the splashing and voice as the pair was closer than she expected. She only watched a moment, seeing the small woman struggle to find her way out of the water, but Relm didn't put together that this monkey man was like a seeing eye companion. Though Relm had never met anyone blind, or at least partially blind like her. Kefka made her ailment silent and never even mentioned it. As if it didn't exist or that she was normal. She was growing more used to it every day and it would seem Kefka's wish to ignore would be coming true in Relm's growing years. Relm would only watch with little emotion and not feeling the need to help, if anything just curious to why the woman needed the monkey to help her so much. Just as she would be guided back out of the water, Relm finally approached the two, not getting too close but it wasn't to the thought of threatening either the pair or herself. Usually she was pretty nosy and a little too close for comfort, but instead she stood a safe distance away in a natural way that most wolves would. "Hey lady, you okay?" Her eyes wandered to the ape, but quickly returned to the tiny woman. Though Relm was much bigger than her while younger, it was still prominent to her that the woman was older, even if by just a year or so. "Why you need that monkey to help you?" Walk "Talk" Think
