As Scully motioned with his head, Moore got to his paws, his grin widening at the “good-looking” compliment. Patiently, the larger wolf listened as the soot-furred man listed off different spots to tour. A slight snicker escaped between his teeth at the mention of monthly sacrifices. At least Scully was funny.

“Well, let’s save the best for last, and y’can show me the sacrificial pit then, good-lookin’,” He added with a wink of his own, the grin starting to make the muscles around his face ache. “In case y’cast me into it, I’d like t’see everything else first.

He continued while leading the way, toward the scent of water still flowing beneath a thin covering of ice.
