Big Salmon Lake twark

Scrambling the rest of the way up his leg, Shiv picked her way through his dark fur and onto his shoulder as he commented that maybe he could try walking on it. Giving an encouraging warble, the bird happily waddled over to his mid-back, perching there and watching on eagerly as the man begun to trek out onto the ice. She hadn't seen a wolf take on the frozen surface of a lake before, it would be interesting to see how their large talons fared compared to her own.

Squawking gleefully, the magpie raised her wings as she rocked about on his back. It seemed he was just as unbalanced as she on the slippery surface! Hearing the soft clicks and then the long scrape of sharp nails against ice, Shiv peered over from the edge of her perch. "Ice skates," she commented with an amused chirp. "Wolf has much sharp talons, yes, yes."
