Oki liked this place, not because he had a taste for the scenery or he liked the cold, l him the reasoning was quite simple, what you saw what was what you. He’d met a lot of interesting wolves here, the landmark stood out amongst the stark white, it was easy to spot passers by and flag them over with a firm dot wave of his tail. Not everyone wanted to say hi, but he rarely took offence. I took more than being snuffed to make his hackles raise, maybe if someone was picking on someone who couldn’t defend themselves? Yeah that’s probs piss him off, bullies could suck his dick. Metaphorically of course.

He saw a blue figure out on the snow, moving about as if it didn’t slow them down at all and he let out a bark. Boof, I’m over here, sort of vibe. As they, or rather he now Oki had a change to get abetter whiff of them, approached he noted he looked real familiar. Onyx- adjacent? Just as hot, honestly.

The harshness of winter was slowly lessening, though the skies seemed reluctant to relinquish their grey hues. The dreary day was no bother to Bronze - not when he was so accustomed to living in the north. The slight shift in temperature was enough to brighten his mood, making him feel a little more upbeat than usual as he headed east of Armada lands and to a territory quite familiar to him. He definitely didn't expect to come across someone he knew, let alone someone he hadn't seen in so long. From a distance he recognized him when Oki let out an attention-grabbing bark, his characteristic horns a dead giveaway as to who he was. It was hard to suppress a smirk, as uncharacteristic as it was of him, as he moved to close the distance between the two of them. "Hey Horns," he greeted him. The fact that he'd never even gotten his actual name didn't matter to Bronze. "Still alive and kicking, I see?" Not that he really expected anything less, but he was jesting with him. Oki brought out a more playful side of him that few wolves saw, even after all these years.

Kuroki was quite pleased the blue wolf remembered him, would have been kinda awkward otherwise, no? He grinned, tail wagging as the hefty man moved closer. What was it about the north and most of the dudes who lived here? Why'd they always look like they could hoist Oki up on their backs no problem, and most importantly, why was he kinda into that?

"Of course." He confirmed, inhaling to square out his shoulders, showed off his naturally lithe physique. "Man, where'd you get that beef from? You look well good." It was only right that a bro compliment his bro's body, you know?

He scaled down the wall, using the crumbling side as a sort of staircase. Took two steps at a time, bouncing down till his paws were back on firm ground. Or rather snow and lots of it.

"Ahh, still got a coupla inches on you though." A fact he seemed quite pleased about.
