Arrow Lake you're getting warmer

Gabe had conversed little with his travel partner on their journey. When they stopped to rest, he slept at a distance from her, refusing to snuggle close even for warmth. He likely came off as a solitary, cold hearted beast. That was quite the opposite of who he usually was, normally Gabe would've been all over Ynes, not physically of course but he would've adored the companionship. He would've talked to her until her ears couldn't take it anymore, and snuggled close to her at night. But the connection, at least on his part, was broken. He was broken.

They were walking along, Gabe's head hung as he watched the pebbles around his feet. His head shot up when he heard her chirp, calling him closer. He indulged her, moving to stand by her. He looked at the lake, his eyes searching for life. Faint movement caught his amber orbs on the other side of the lake, and when he focused he could barely make out the shape of some type of ruminant. He swung his hips to nudge her, getting her attention then jerking his head towards the herd.
