Serpent Lake Bright stars and black roses

A cold winter breeze shifted the male's thick furs into a tangled mess as the other spoke. It seemed the life of a loner had taken a toll on the stranger, or at least it appeared he was a rouge. Raspy voice, bad cough, and seemed is some physical pain as well. Quinn silently wondered to himself how much longer the other could last in the winter conditions, as it seemed he hadn't been doing well so far. The fiery male himself, had only recently left his birth pack and from self judgement had been doing decent on his own. Perhaps all of his previous journeys on his own had paid off in the long run. 

"Morning" he returned smoothly as he brought his tail to rest gently against his right hind leg. "I'm afraid not, quite new to these lands" he replied to the other's question as the corners of his mouth tugged down to form the beginning of a frown. The male was looking forward to exploring these new territories, though with the current conditions it seemed most adventures would have to wait. "I'm guessing you don't know much about this area either".
