Moonspear on the steel breeze

Fade? :)

Sadly, neither wolf had an immediate solution for their problem. They would just have to wait and see what spring brought; Amekaze seemed confident that an opportunity would present itself, and Floki chose to believe her. There was no sense in dwelling on something he couldn't change, especially not by himself. He wouldn't let the slumbering bears impact his life.

The gentle pitter-patter of icy rain on his back suddenly caused Floki to look up. It appeared that the clouds had opened up and begun to release the wintry weather that they so threatened. He shivered preemptively. "I'm gonna go get out of the elements," he quipped; their conversation had naturally waned, and he didn't feel that Amekaze would be offended by his abrupt departure. Besides, she probably wanted to escape the freezing rain as well, and likely didn't anticipate snuggling up with her co-leader's little brother for the duration.

With a smile and a wave of his tail, Floki began to pick his way carefully down the slope, which was already growing slick with each passing minute.
