Sawtooth Spire like two dogs caged

Haha. It was a super short and super vague starter! It should get better from here. :]

The forest thinned towards the base of the spire. The soft, earthen ground became rockier and far more precarious to navigate as all the scree piled at its base. He picked his way over the loose stone as he ascended a bit higher. Satisfied with his position, he turned his head over his shoulder to glance back towards the tree line. Aariak was on his way. Did Iqniq need to send up another howl? He pondered it a moment before deciding against it and turning his eyes back towards the spire. Could they reach the top? Maybe. Or maybe they'd wear each other out before they got there. He couldn't say.

A bark announced the pale wolf's presence. Iqniq hopped down the slop a bit to greet the wolf. Aariak's lick to his chin was returned with a light nudge of his muzzle. Greetings aside, Iqniq was eager to explore. A light wag lifted to his tail as he beamed eagerly. He'd been feeling a little lazy what with watching the kids and all. It was time to hit those slopes and get a proper workout in. No doubt the caretaker could uses a little more strenuous exercise to make up for all the holding back they did when play-fighting with the youngins.

"I'm getting fat. Let's hike this spire." And get in a little endurance training. Perhaps they could run intervals up the slopes as they navigated between the large, jutting rocks. It'd be precarious, but Iqniq was up to the challenge of endurance, speed, and agility. "And try not to get lost..." he added looking upwards at the trail. There were parts where the ground dipped between towering stones and blocked out views of the outside world. Navigating that area might be tricky... He eyeballed the intended path for a moment and contemplated what might happen if they got lost. Naahh.. Worth it. "We'll be fine."
