Turtleback Lake don't let go

RE: Windy weather and moist snow have caused snow rollers to form all over.
For @Anastasia

He walked without word, eyes taking in the marvelous sight of randomly formed snow rollers littered along the ground. He felt the occasional gust of wind blow past him with so much force it felt that he was losing hair in some spots, but he was much too bulky to move and thick pads sunk easily into the moist snow with each placed paw. The soft crunch of his feet through snow was the only sound made as he continued on with the commute to one of his more frequented spots as of recent--Turtleback Lake. He had no intention to stay long, an hour or two away from his son was enough of a break until he felt it was time to return to the youth so he didn't waste time in getting himself settled onto his haunches in a sit, attempting to relax was the only thought on his mind. He didn't care if another wolf was nearby, or that a pack was not that far off, he only cared to find happiness in the silence and beauty of the melting lake.

With breeding season having finally finished off, Anastasia could breathe a sigh of relief as the lingering signs of heat had passed over. She had woken up rather early that morning in her glee and ventured far and wide around the Lake, even daring to venture around its vicinity if only to make a point that she could. Obviously she had the pleasure prior to now but now her heat had gone and she was able to breathe and gallivant around the Surge to her own excitement.

There was no way she was going to pass that up.

While the past hour had been spent walking around the Lake, she had changed her pace quite suddenly to be slow and cautious. Admiring the snow rollers and the melting off the sun with the clear skies ahead. It definitely gave her some peace of mind so that she didn't have to worry about anyone else's needs and wants. Aytigin's person that had come around could do her no harm - okay, he could but she couldn't get kicked out of the pack for it and get in trouble - and neither could anyone else. It still didn't stop her from pausing a second, mid-step, to spot a stranger ahead of her seemingly in his own world as he settled himself onto his haunches and assumed to be trying to relax. Thus, she tried not to continue that way but it was on her way back to the Surge so she didn't have much of a choice.

The dove moved with quiet, crunching steps in the males direction though tried to seem like she was making a point to go around him rather than to disturb him. Even though all points in her desperately wished to associate herself with strangers, especially now that she was physically able to do so without the constant worry.

 He wasted no time in lowering to his stomach and finally onto his back where he rolled and shifted what little snow remained on the ground and would surely stick to his pelt. He moaned a sigh of relief, happy that his plans were beginning to take shape and that his son was budding and growing more confident with age. He was also happy to be alone, his age made him more impatient and grumpy and he had grown to enjoy the silence that came with being alone but solitude often brought back memories of his past, and of his wife. He missed her more than life and thought of her daily but he knew that there was no turning back now, he was stuck here until Chiron was well established and settled and he didn't mind it, not when he was regaining so much of his past back. It didn't take him long to notice the scent of another and he stopped in mid stride to roll onto his stomach and look at the wolf who so desperately looked to be moving along on her way. He debated on whether he should say something to her, wondering if like him she would have rather been alone. The window of opportunity was lessening and he was content to let her keep going but something tugged at him and before he realized it, he was speaking to her receding form. "You look like you're far from home." he said, relying on scent alone. It should be enough to catch her attention--but part of him wondered why he'd even bothered.

Arla and Emma are the ish and made my pretties!
Koda will most likely always be accompanied by Chiron unless otherwise stated, or requested.
