Secluded Spring Mysteries of the Deep

Aurek watched his companion bash the ice and he smiled, knowing that he was not the only one who got woozy from hammering the log against the ice. Elyan did have some success in making the crack bigger and just in case the ice might give in under the youngster, the pale boy laid ready behind him to try to save him. Aftere just two tries however, Elyan alraeady dropped the log and Aurek watched him bemused while he replied.

He nodded at those words, finding some resemblence in their situation. Both were alone and had someone they needed to find. Neither had any idea where to find them. He was not sure where the idea suddenly came from but suddenly the pale boy suggested half jokingly; "You know, we could makea pack you and I." -He smiled widely, even his tail waving behind him. Aurek was not of course entirely serious but if the other youngster would like the idea and feed it, he might even start to think of it more seriously.

His gaze turned to the log from their conversation and he nodded at it while raising his brow at the other boy. "Did you get tired already?" -It was a playful jabbed playfully, toothy smirk on his face never leaving him.

The first hit with the log had caused him to feel like his whole body was shaking. It was an off feeling to say the least but the second only made it worse to the point he was worried he might be sick. Looking down at the progress he'd made it was a little disappointing to go through all of that to not have made any real dent in the ice. He'd dropped the log at his feet and looked to his new friend. After dropping the log Elyan collapsed on to his haunches before looking over at his companion.

He'd explained his plans though he hadn't completely thought them through which was hard since he didn't know where his parents were. He definitely didn't want to stay much longer with that bear. So his head tilted his head in interest as the boy spoke of creating a pack. “Don't you think we’re a little young for that?” He asked his brow furrowing. His parents had been alphas and he'd seen what they'd had to do. “Besides don't we need a female or two?” This time his brow raised wondering what Aurek thought of that.

At the question Elyan shook his head before immediately regretting it. “No, but I might vomit if I do anymore,” he stated the thought that maybe they might be better off going to hunt something together crossing his mind.

Before everything had gone so badly in the pack his father had taught him some if what it took to run a pack. As Aurek spoke of them starting their own pack his mismatched gaze looked to the first that overshadowed the spring. He couldn't help but wonder what had happened in his absence. Turning back to his friend, “A team sounds good.” Things would be much easier the two of them working together and it would be nice to not have to travel alone.. “Maybe we'll find a girl or two along the way.” He'd thought about Hawthorne when Aurek spoke but she seemed happy where she was.

Elyan looked back to whatever it was that had gotten stuck in the ice when his companion suggested going hunting. He didn't fancy trying to use the log again, his head was still shaking from his previous effort. “We might have better luck getting something to eat in the near future if we went hunting. Let's go,” he said as he started off the ice. “Between the two of us we should he able to catch something,” he added as he looked behind him once to see if Aurek was following.
