All Welcome 
after waiting out the cold night, the two young wolves set off. the longer they took, the more max longed to be at the coast again. she loved traveling as much as the next guy, but this was terrible. journeys were fun if you were with a group of cute girls in a warm summer. one dude in an unrelenting winter? ehh... not so much.

sometime during their travels @Lava had suggested they split up to find some food, which max had agreed to. she quietly strolled along with her nose to the ground. she eventually found herself sloshing through some cold mud. yuck.

distantly, saarthal wondered if she was walking in circles. she didn't really have any clues to support that hypothesis but the terrain she'd been travelling through seemed distinctly related to one another, if that made sense, like they were all born of the same specific section of land. except for...saarth's nose wrinkled in disgust as her paws sunk into thick, cold mud. it seeped into her fur and stained it the ugly colour of shit. great. now she was wading through diarrhoea. 

saarth tossed her head, fiery eyes flickering to the sky as she inhaled sharply, trying her best to find the quickest way out of this hellhole. and then something flitted across her peripheral vision. she blinked, breathed in and felt her heart sink like a stone in the pit of her chest as the scent registered in her mind. "max?" saarthal found herself breathing out, her voice catching in the back of her throat. stupid.

you’d think she’d be the only one waddling through the wasteland. nope, someone else was suffering just as much as her. max stopped in her tracks, squinting at the dirty gray form. she trudged a little closer to get a better look.

max? she stopped again and tilted her head. who was this stranger? “how do you-?” wait a minute... this girl wasn’t a stranger. no fucking way.

saarth!” a wave of happiness and relief washed over her. after all those months of searching she assumed the worse. long gone, or dead. but she was here, unscarred and safe. and that was way more than she can say for others that had disappeared.


she galloped through the mud to close the distance between them. “you asshole!” there was no malice in her cry, just a relieved teasing tone. she embraced her, making them dirtier than they already were.

a rush of, well, something flowed through her veins as her name slipped past max's lips and the girl rushed at her. for a second, a sense of repulsion flickered and saarthal had to resist the urge to step away; it vanished soon enough but not before the bitter taste of fear rolled down the back of her throat like a cold, hard pebble, washed smooth by the sea. 

"hey, babe," saarth murmured into the crook of max's neck, folding herself into her friend's embrace. there was something comforting about the scent that enveloped her, it reminded her of their times together - mallaidh, varinril, max - better days. she squeezed her eyes shut and breathed in, allowing herself just this moment to float away.
