forwards beckon - Solharr - January 07, 2025
the warmth of the hunt’s victory still lingered in sólhárr ’s veins as they crested the final rise. ahead, steam rose from the earth like a ghostly veil, curling into the chilled air and promising respite from the blood and toil that clung to them both. the natural baths, hidden within forneskja’s heart, glimmered with an inviting heat that defied the winter’s chill.
he glanced at pangur, a wry smirk tugging at his muzzle as they reached the edge of the springs. her fur was streaked with the remnants of their hunt, her triumph evident in the set of her shoulders despite the mess she carried.
the gods bless us with water to cleanse,he said, stepping forward and lowering his muzzle to the steam. his voice held a teasing note as he flicked his tail toward the nearest pool.
and you look like you could use it, pangur.
his own coat bore the evidence of their victory, streaked with blood and dirt. with a huff, he stepped into the warm embrace of the water, the heat pulling a deep sigh from his chest. he turned his gaze back to her, amber eye gleaming.
come, before you scare the rest of the pack with that face of yours.his tone was light, but there was no mistaking the quiet camaraderie beneath his words. this was their reward, a moment of shared peace amidst the chaos of the hunt.

He did not need to say much before she was in, no argument from her! The water pooled at her elbows, but Pangur went far deeper; quite literally, she submerged herself, laying down and making sure not a single speck on her face would be missed. Her face! Which had to look sweet and inviting and pretty! Not blood-stained, like some crazed warrior, come to frighten forneskja's puppies. She lifted her head from the water after a brief moment, watching it drip from the ends of her fur before giving a brief shake.
The gods were resplendent and yet, they could fickle when they wanted to be.
It is so nice-uh...She groaned and leaned back. The red from the hunt faded in the pools, wide, river-like streaks that disappeared as soon as she let her paw swish the water around. Oh sweet cleanliness...
Well, the gods were kind to put this here...she commented with a grin, the sort of giddy lightness that followed when fatigue wore heavy.
And to not have us be killed today, of course.Pangur shifted to lie on her side in the water.
They have blessed us a thousand ways. I think they want to bless us still, but we should make an offering, soon, to keep their favour.She suggested, a casual flick of her ear.

her enthusiasm for the water was infectious, her words tumbling out with the giddy energy of someone who had just conquered the world—or an oxen, in this case.
you’re not wrong,he rumbled, dipping a paw into the water and swirling it idly. the crimson streaks of their hunt drifted away, disappearing like whispers into the warm depths.
the gods favor those who prove themselves, and today... we proved a lot.
he leaned back slightly, the steam rising from the spring curling around his dark form.
an offering is a good thought,he added, his tone thoughtful.
something from the hunt. a token of gratitude for their guidance—and a promise we’ll keep hunting in their name.
