Firefly Ravine time to raise the dead

val had never experienced being caught in a snowstorm before. he had originally set along the borders after the tracks of a hare. he'd managed to follow it slightly south, and it was then great gusts of wind picked up and the steady fall of snow obscured his vision.

disoriented, valravn drifted further from sapphique until he came upon a stream. like any living thing, life tended to congregate at water sources -- between the veil of snow he spotted an obscured figure walking along the other bank.

the footing on lakhos' side seemed less steep. occasionally, val's form was swallowed whole as he fell through bits of snowdrift up to his chin. after one such collapse, val yelped -- disappearing almost entirely into the embankment.
