White wolf in White snow.

[Vulpesen]

Vulpesen's golden eyes went out to the white beyond his ship's viewport, his lids widening in anticipatory dread. The simply truth was, he hated the cold. For this reason, he'd been taken care to make sure to bring Shadow with him. The large fox now sat in his cargo hold, ready to leave once the ship's ramp was lowered. He looked to his side, giving [member="Neshoba Nodi"] a smile. "Here we are." He did his best to wipe away the fear in his voice and face, but he couldn't help it. He absolutely hated the cold. The things he did for... was she a friend? Some how that didn't fit, but he wasn't sure what did, so he went with that.

Lenta was cautious about this. She'd never really heard of snow. What if it was dangerous? The little red wolf cautiously sniffed the air, slinking closer to the open ramp. Neshoba's curious ruby eyes peeked out from the side as she pulled on a pair of boots. They widened to the size of saucers, her fluffy white ears perking up in immense interest.

It was so... WHITE!!​

Vulpesen smiled and walked up beside Neshoba, wearing his usual coat and as many warming force abilities as he could muster. "Welcome to hoth, Miss Nodi." He smiled and walked out, letting out a whistle to call Shadow who padded forward, fairly unaffected by the cold due to her large coat of black fur. "A place of snow, Ice, and very little else."\

Neshoba slowly walked down the ramp. She looked around, absorbing everything. Lenta was a bit faster than her, reaching to snow first. The red wolf yelped from the sudden sting of cold and jumped backward. Was it really that bad? Nesh picked Lenta up and let her boots sink into the mysterious white wonder with a satisfying crunch. She reached down one of her hands to feel it. It stung.... But only a little.​

​

It's cold! ​

​

She grinned very excitedly.​

[Vulpesen]

A laugh sounded from the zorren as he stepped off the ramp to join her, smiling widely. "Well, its basically mini-ice cubes." His tail wrapppd around him, hoping to add some semblance of warmth. Still, that wide grin she gave him completely melted away any sort of want to get out of here. "Wish I could suggest a list of destinations, but not much around here to head towards."

[Slot 12]

Though Lenta seemed very against the idea, Neshoba knew EXACTLY what she wanted to do. Without a second thought, she jumped through the air. White fur sprouted from her growing form. She landed with a "poof" in a large pile of snow. A few minutes later, the white wolf's head popped out of the pile. She was panting happily, her tail wagging ferociously.​

[Vulpesen]

His laugh gre louder and he walked over before falling back, his body letting out a soft, 'whump' as it collided with the snow, creating a stark contrast of black and white. While he hated the cold, he had to admit that snow was't all that bad. He turned his head, fixing the wolf with golden eyes. "So, I guess you've found this place to your liking?" As he spoke, Ace's blue head poked out of his coat pocket to join his gaze on her.

[Slot 12]

Neshoba barked happily, nuzzling Ace a little. Lenta was still being extremely hesitant about coming out to join them. The second her paws would touch the snow, she would pull back. Apparently she liked the cold about as much as Vulpesen did.​

[Vulpesen]

Vulpsen let out a small laugh and reached out, using the force to pull Lenta over and lay her on top of Neshoba, and out of the snow. While one of the companions was reserved about the snow, another happily leaped into it. Shadow, while a large and fearsome war mount was an almost comical sight as she walked forward and sniffed at the snow for a few moments before pouncing into it. White specks littered the glossy black fur as she walked through the snow, paws lifting high before falling down, almost like a show animal as the fox tried to adjust to the new substance on her way to Vulpesen.

[Slot 12]

Lenta wobbled a little as Neshoba stood up. The white wolf was going to get her little red friend to like the snow, even if it killed her. She plopped her butt down, forcing the red wolf into the snow pile. Lenta yelped, disappearing in a little explosion of white. After a few minutes, two little ears popped up and shook off the snow. Lenta hopped up, landing on Vulpesen's chest next to Ace.​

​

Neshoba barked happily again. She hop/ran over to Shadow, extremely playful.​

Vulpesen's laugh continued on, growing louder as he watched Lenta get plopped into the snow, only to escape to the refuge of his chest. Reaching up to pet the wolves he then sat up while they ran to his shoulders. Shadow however, as the third fourth companion let out a bark as Neshoba hopped over and lowered her head to offer a playful headbutt to the white wolf while the five black tails swayed behind her.

[Slot 12]

Neshoba was like an overgrown puppy. She stuck her butt up and wagged her tail furiously, her front getting low to the ground. She barked again at Shadow, and then hopped back and forth in front of her.​

​

C'mon, Shadow! Let's PLAY!!!​

​

[member="Vulpesen"]​

 

[Vulpesen]

Shadow's tails wagged as her head continued to press into Neshoba. It was common for veran foxes to play but head wrestling in this manner, and while he didn't say such, Vulpesen had to admit that he'd taken part of these contests, both as a human, and a fox. As for the wish to play, such was already being granted as she let out a playful growl, causing a loud swishing with the wagging tails.

[Slot 12]

Neshoba growled happily and pressed her head back against Shadow's. Finally, she just backed up a little, and then jumped up. She knew she couldn't exactly tackle the massive fox. But she could certainly try!​

​

[Vulpesen]

Vulpesen rose up form the snow, the white powder covering his back as his tail wagged, splashing some of it around him as he watched Neshoba's attempt to tackle the massive beast. Shadow simply ducked down, giving the opportunity to get on her back, though as soon as Neshoba found her self on top, the Veran born animal started to shake, removing both snow, and quite likely, a wolf from her fur.

[member="Neshoba Nodi"]

 

[Slot 12]

Neshoba let out a surprised yelp as she flew off the fox. A second explosion of snow. For a few minutes, all was still. Then, a second but smaller explosion as the white wolf's head popped up. She barked again, panting and wagging her tail wildly.​

​

Let's do that again!!​

​

[member="Vulpesen"]​

 

[Vulpesen]

Vulpesen grinned and stood up before making his way over to Shadow. The beast looked up at her master with large joyful eyes and leaned in to his hand as he reached out to pet her. "Careful, Neshoba. Wouldn't want you plopping yourself into a spot that' s more ice than snow." His hand moved over to scratch behind Shadow's ear, and the fox's foot started to shake and thump, causing rabid bursts of snow.

[Slot 12]

Neshoba hopped up and trotted over to Vulpesen. She sniffed him with her large black nose nudging his clothing a bit. It was something she normally did when in wolf form.​

​

You cold? You look like you're cold...​

​

Lenta was busy playing with Ace in the little crater that Vulpesen had left with his body. She was taking the upper hand, too.​

[member="Vulpesen"]​

 

[Vulpesen]

He chuckled and patted her had, his body shifting a bit as she nudged him. He was used to Shadow doing this, and some of the younger Ashlan wolves, but for a full grown and sentient being, it was fairly strange. "Well, I've never been one for cold weather, so yeah, I guess I am really chilly. However,t he force is keeping me fairly warm." Taking a look back, he smiled at Ace. Lenta might have had the upper hand now, but Ace had been in Vulpesen's mind during his most powerful battles, leaving him a near first hand experience.
