weeeee short post. 3+
The wind was cold on the afternoon air. The tide had brought in cold from the sea and it struck the land like a brick to pavement. It sunk down to the core of each bone and chilled fur as if it was eternally wet. The snow seemed to freeze into compact blankets and the sand seemed to be one large piece. It was days like these that left the Djose woman feeling the need to find a cabin farther inland. The beach was lovely, and being so close to it was so calming. However, the winds were not kind off of winters tongue.
Tala was outside only when it was absolutely necessary. Collecting wood that she did not like to keep inside was one of those tasks. It was kept at the back of the cabin away from damp winds. The overhand of the roof left the area dry of snow. The wood was to cold to be wet, so it would light fine after it had a moment to warm itself. Tala had a fire going at all times to be sure that she wasn't left with a cold house and useless wood. The thought made her skin crawl. The dappled Djose woman pushed the door open as she stepped into the cold. She huffed as her lungs sting from a sudden cold she never truly expected. Her body moved around the house as quick as her hobble could carry her. Her leg was still bandaged and wounded from her fall with Gideon. Paroling the borders had become hard, so she had stuck to the borders to the east, the ones closest to her cabin.
Once at the back Tala began to tuck small pieces of wood into the crook of her arm as amber eyes watched the wood for any visitors. Small creatures tended to hide in the pile from time to time. Mice, rats, birds from time to time. Tala's whole body convulsed in a shiver as she turned to her left to once again return to the warmth her cabin provided. She moved slower this time, her body feeling the cold by now and the woman frowned. Winter was due to be over, in her opinion. Once finding her way back to the door Tala pushed it open again and stepped back inside. It had been quiet around here lately, most people of the Valley seemed to be sticking to their homes. Smart wolves.
