Mount Apikuni first of the year

His head slowly began to fall to once side before she noticed him, but he straightened as she turned and redirected her path towards his company. He had to wonder what she was doing out here, what path would have taken her from the frozen lake to this forsaken mountain side. Then again, perhaps she wondered the same of him. His journey consisted of deciding points - each turn was not without its purpose or its cause. He had been led here, and he only wished to know if the same fate had drawn her to cross his path once more.

Raheerah shifted his weight. There was a dull stinging in his paw still, but it was not enough for him to cease his journey to recover. He had suffered far worse ailments than an achy paw. Still she came close and Raheerah huffed at her question, seemingly aware of the injury he sustained. "It is not your conceerrn." He rumbled, standing once more at his full height. He looked her over, seeking any changes to the physique he had seen days ago by the lake. She looked the same as she had then, and that was good enough for him. "Whaat brings you heere." The beast added, failing to let his gaze leave the tan wolf.
