Firefly Ravine time to raise the dead

if val had any life experience, he would peg this wolf (if it was a wolf? who knew) as flighty -- or as the kids say these days, sus. just something about the way lakhos observed him, eyes narrowed and legs held under him as if ready to run any moment.

maybe it was val that was sus. he'd just gotten swallowed whole by a snowdrift, and now was panting on the embankment in what could be classified as post survivor shock. he tried a few times to mumble something in answer to lakhos' question, glancing from his paws to the stranger helplessly.

at last his voice came to him, all but steady. "um.. n-no.. i fell." he motioned to the val-sized indentation behind him, where he'd nearly met his end.
