eternal eclipse in the teeth of the risk

For @Tiarnán. Sorry this took me forever to get up for you! :C Open for any STM wolf.

Mordecai had once again found himself climbing up the mountain to escape the summertime heat that had unceremoniously rolled in over the Wilds. He hadn't anticipated the temperatures to begin to remind him so much of the sands and brush of Sedona, but life had its way of unexpectedly giving him the cues over things of the past. He had gone trailing past the place where he had met Lecter days ago, not interested in sunbathing in the slightest. He wanted to go higher up, against every fiber of his body implying that such thing may not have been the smartest thing to do. Mordecai had never lived on mountainsides, so the innate curiosity was at times almost too much to bare. He had tried to scale parts of Silvertip before with little luck, but he was stubborn. He kept trying, wondering just where and how high he could go before risk outweighed the pleasure of seeing what there was to see.

This time, however, he didn't reach that breaking point. When he found the right area where the temperature dropped steadily and the winds were a bit more than just a breeze, he made himself stop. Perhaps miserably on a certain level, he could ascertain that there was no getting to the top of Silvertip, and to try such would beyond foolish. It warranted a death sentence, as the degree of the climb went beyond what he was willing to try and could even bother with. Still, the view was breathtaking as he dawdled along a rocky path, and he reclined himself to dangle his front paws over the slope. Well above of the timberline, he could see for miles. Not to the detail he would have liked, but it was nice to take in the expanse of the Wilds that he was familiar with.
