Sawtooth Spire don't squander it

@Nanuk for the discovery of Pasiaktuk Hot Springs!

The autumn mornings were growing crisper. Fog rolled in, wrapping the area in a thick blanket of blinding moisture. His eyes couldn't peer as clearly as he desired. His nose was blinded by the water in the air. Still, he rose early and padded through the chill of the morning. He was thankful the air was still and relenting. Soon the cold of winter would be upon them, but for now he was content to wander and enjoy the dawn while Tonravik and the puppies were still sleeping in the den.

In the mist, he nearly tripped over Nanuk as she slept. His paws tangled over her body as he accidentally stepped on her shoulder. Committed, he passed over her and plopped down on her other side. His furs pressed into her own as he roused the sleeping crocodile and coaxed her into waking. As if stepping on her hadn't been enough he leaned, making a nuisance of himself.
