The enormous mountain dog was in his Lupus form - it was a strange form for him to be in, considering he was almost always in his Optime form, wearing his familiar brown cloak made from deerskin, roaming the territories. But today, the large canine was in is dog form, the form that he would be in all the time if it weren't for the Luperci virus that had swept the world and killed the humans. His paws crunched against snow and ice, leaving deep paw prints where they had been; his long, shaggy fur protected him from the cold snow and ice, however, so he felt cool rather than cold, and was happy in this climate, as it was the climate he was born in and made to live in.
Ansui could smell another Ichikan and walked to the area to investigate; another quick sniff allowed him to realize that it was a small pup, rather than an adult. Smiling, as Ansui loved pups and loved the innocent nature they brought, he padded towards the area and saw the pup rolling around in the snow before pausing and staring up at the sky, seemingly bewildered at it. Ansui walked up until he was next to the puppy, looking at the sky as well.
"A beautiful day," his deep voice sounded. And it was - there weren't many clouds in the sky despite the chilly weather and the wintery day, and the sun could be seen shining, although it was dimmer than it would have been if it had been a summer day instead. Ansui rested his paws out in front of him and lay down with his belly to the floor; even laying down like this, he was easily over three times the size of the puppy next to him.
