He’d left the plains, but not without leaving @Paeon with a howled note of his temporary wandering, to a giant lake. He moved across the snowy sea between a brisk trot and a swift gallop from time to time. He could see something nearing in the distance, a large body of water, and as he neared, this was certain, for he had stumbled upon the Great Water Lake! He briskly moved along the edge, peering over the side of the shore, curiously batting the ice surrounding the edges. It did seem solid, but he decided he’d rather live another day than die a furry popsicle, floating in an ice cube like some extinct fossil.
