Firestone Hot Springs take a break

Thanks for starting!

He began his search within the local vicinity of the forest. The frost at nights, and the rain that dampened the grounds prior had ensured Rannoch and Lucy’s scent remained quite hidden from him, and the frustration he felt was only spurned by the nervous realization that both might be missing for good – that this far surpassed childish antics that requested adventure.
 
The hot springs was a place he was familiar with, though had not visited in some time. The heat that emanated from the pools was surprising to him this time of year, but he carefully sidesteps them, unwilling to stop now when his mission was perfectly clear. He had requested his daughter steer clear of the east side of the woods – and he had searched the coastal areas quickly.. but coming up with nothing, he was now forced to trek closer to lands he had no desire to go too.
 
There was a gentle splashing sound, and glancing up sharply from his original focus, the wolf noted another basking in one of the springs – paddling, splashing. The very definition of carefree. “Hey,” he called out, quickening his pace to close some of the distance between the two as his aqua eyes settled upon the earth-toned wolf. “Have you seen two pups? One is black with blue eyes – the other is grey with blue eyes.” Directly to the point, the large wolf waited, feeling his nerves fray with every hiss of the spring water and steam.
