Nova Peak i'm worried it's infected, spreading to my heart

The trek was a long one, but one worth taking. Uka had come all the from the southern territories, up through the mountains, and across the plains, only to find himself in a winter wonderland. Now, he wasn't necessarily a huge fan of cold climates (they made his joints ache even more than they already did, and his fur looked limp rather than voluminous), but he figured that a break from the wet heat of summer couldn't hurt. Besides, where there was ice, there was always water. 

A mountain of sorts was up ahead, which Uka hesitantly cleared. As he neared the top, he saw a young thing pounce feircely in the distance, bringing a conniving smile to his lips. He drew in closer, though kept a safe distance to just watch as she nosed through the foliage. Hey, he called out, once he'd gotten his fill, Can you help me with something?
