Big Salmon Lake Dashing Thru' the Snow

No problem, this can be a slower thread if you want! <3 Also, I have no idea if these two can understand each other, but I'm thinking no? How have you been playing it in other threads?

The creature started and slipped, which made Dash feel a little bad. Well, he now seemed to have its attention. "Uh, you got this!" Dash encouraged the creature, sort of at a loss for what to do. He couldn't really tell what it wanted from him. Instead of leaping, the little creature slithered forward on the ice and disappeared into a snowdrift. 

When it reemerged, it was chattering even more vibrantly. Aww, it was kind of cute, with its fur all ruffled like that. Dash's ears lifted, but he couldn't tell what the thing was saying in its tiny little voice, so far away. Would they even be able to understand one another? 

Maybe.. maybe it was returning the favor, and encouraging him now? Dash looked around from his perch on top of his snowdrift, and his eyes landed on the crest of the next snowdrift. Maybe the thing wanted him to leap now? Might as well give it a shot. Dash jumped, and coming up several feet shy of the snowdrift's crest, he sank down into snowpile.

Now buried up to his neck in freezing snow, Dash had to admit that had been a stupid choice.
