Moonspear blood heat over tension

For the first time since he arrived at Moonspear, the Iota dared to climb the mountain. Though Rannoch knew that hadn't recovered entirely, he figured that he would fine as long as he kept to a more accessible trail. Rannoch would not partake in any risky behavior in his ascent; he would be overly analytic about every minuscule action. 

The day was young as he slowly made his way up the trail. Despite the overcast conditions, some sunlight managed to dapple his path. Though it was beautiful outside, Rannoch did not plan to be out long. He had promised to return to @Liffey by mid-day and would do everything in his power to keep his promise to her. Perhaps, if she were willing, they would return to spot later that day to catch the sunset. 

A cold rush of wind, which carried Terance's scent, caused the Iota to pause his trek. Following his nose, Rannoch sought his friend as his eyes roved the territory as he attempted to find the dark guardian. But, once Rannoch realized that his friend wasn't in the immediate vicinity, he called out in an attempt to locate him.
 
"Terance?" wisps of breath escaped him as he spoke into the frigid air.
