Secluded Spring the yeti

@Mako

The boy had meandered north, unaware of where he was going. Caelean was fascinated with how the land seemed to twist, turn and form underneath his paws. Everything was caked in snow but not every place looked the same in the snow. He was a bit cold out here but that was okay. While he had been intent on finding a pack, the boy didn't mind taking some time if it meant finding the perfect one.

It was in the tightknit forest that he found himself wandering. A place like this was rather nice for a small boy like Caelean. He fit between thickets and low hanging branches. But through all that, he found a frozen spot of water. With the cold temperatures, he felt okay pushing his luck on the edge of the water. For a small boy like himself, with no training in the manner, would have no luck breaking the surface.

His claws and paws searched for traction on the ice. Every few steps he skidded a bit before he shuffled back to the edge again. Caelean's paws felt cold but at least he was having fun.

A small detour brought him to a frozen pool, where Mako looked out over the ice with a deep furrow between the white circles of his eyebrows. If Mako had thought that Rissy was small, the little white scrap of a wolf out on the ice looked like he'd blow away in a stiff breeze. He supposed for that reason alone was the boy able to walk out over the ice without crashing through. Mako's mother had chewed him out for doing the same when he was much younger and smaller, and now given his considerable size it wasn't something he would even dare to do. Mako bit back an uneasy whine low in his throat. The Coho toed the edge of the frozen water-line, whiskers twitching as he stared out at the younger wolf. "Didn't your momma tell you its not safe to play on ice?"

sorry for the wait! @Mako

He felt his legs awkwardly move beneath him as he flung himself towards the solid land again. The voice had caught him off guard and he could already feel his heartbeat quickening with each passing second that he didn't see the wolf who spoke.

It was only when he met the firm snow ground that his yellow eyes saw the large form of the wolf. The one Caelean presumed who had spoken. "Oh, uh, no." He wasn't certain his mother had ever warned him of the ice. Granted it wasn't like him to normally dare the ice. He had just figured with how awfully cold it had been that the ice was solid enough to hold his small form.

"Wh-why isn't it safe?"
