Kasai was bored - and, as of late, that said a lot. Generally the near-yearling was always busy, spending the winter days romping about in the snow while on some imaginative adventure as his alias "The Red Hound." These days, though, there was little The Red Hound had never seen and his quests for the three legendary items he had sought in the summer were growing long and tiresome. Neko, his usual tag-along playmate had helped him uncover several treasures but they were never what he truly had wanted to uncover. The elder stick was still lost, the life stone was still submerged beneath some body of water, and the pelt of invisibility was... well... still invisible... and Kasai had run out of thrills to chase.

Out along the edges of the frostbitten Fields, he mindlessly meandered until the ground gave way to lower grounds and more virgin snow than he had ever seen in his entire life. His once roly-poly body had filled out some over the autumn months and it was with heavy, crunching footfalls that he strayed from all he had ever known within his family's marked territory. Tall red ears pointed skyward and bright yellow eyes stared out as far as he could see. In the sun's last rays, he squinted across the blanket of white. Temptation was no stranger to the young Avalon and it was without hesitation that he bolted forward after a moment's consideration as to how he was going to spend the rest of the daylight hours.

Down, down, down, Kasai's red-touched body rolled down the gentle-sloped knolls, whooping and barking and yipping in new-found glee. When he stopped, he simply got up and ran back up the hill and tumbled down again. It wasn't the most thrilling of games - in fact, it made him quite dizzy too! - but it was definitely better than quietly sitting around and having an escapade in his head. His little game of make-believe could wait until his energy ran out or it was time to go home...
