That morning was brisk and Ratio was still chilled from the night before - exposed, sleeping between two close-growing trees. He never slept without something against his back and he preferred a closed den. He couldn't be choosy - he just didn't have the resources. The cold settled deep into his pelt and stayed there. It wasn't enough to cause him to shiver but he felt like he was made entirely of frost.
Snow crunched under his paws as he stepped into a clearing, head low and eyes cast forward. He saw the strange boulder almost immediately and shifted to move around it without much thought. It was when he drew close enough to notice the strange way it split at the base, the tops leaning against one another like old friends, that he stepped to the rock and stared up at it with mild curiosity.
Leaning forward, he began to sniff tentatively, walking around the base as he did so. It seemed innocuous enough and as he stopped at the other side of the split and poked his head between the two halves he began to scrape snow out of his way.
