Blacktail Deer Plateau Closer to the sun

Rob roamed the plateau, wondering why the weather had picked up and then went to shit again. I hate the cold, he thought, irritated. He had returned from the hot springs a few days ago, but longed to return now that he had experienced them for the first time. The male wondered if he could convince the first wolf he happened upon to journey there with him, and he grinned. "Who wouldn't want to go to the hot springs?" he asked himself aloud quietly.

He squinted his eyes and narrowed his brow when he saw white and blue fur that seemed somehow familiar. As he picked up his pace slightly and trotted forward, a "Pied?" came out in a confused voice. "Hey!" he shouted. "What are you doing here?" Rob looked around anxiously, wondering if his father was nearby.
