Alpine Lake Heavy into everything

Aria had a point. The only way to continue their journey was to cross the river. Their exploration on this side of its banks was limited, but who knew what they would find once they ventured further. Floki gave a shrug. "I dunno. Let's find out," he said, glancing at his traveling companion with a small grin. Despite the barren landscape, it was still exciting to map out new territories.

He stepped forward into the water, letting it lap around his ankles as he adjusted to the temperature. It was still a bit chilly, but wasn't unbearable. He waded a bit deeper, feeling his way across the silty bottom with his paws until it reached his elbows. Turning back towards Aria, he reached up to skim a forepaw across the rippled surface, sending a spray of water towards her with a mischievous expression.

"Come on in, the water's fine," he teased. The sun sat high in the sky overhead, promising to dry their fur once they reached the other side.
