"Well, let me give you hand. Two dogs are better than one, right?" A smile curled his muzzle and he immediately bent to the task of collecting and stacking wood in his arms. The work was not completely charity, if he helped, he hoped he could earn some shelter for the night. Helios hated storms, minor and large, he had simply spent too many of them exposed and terrified to appreciate their savage beauty at work. Just the thought of that made his head twitch towards his father's sword. He had used to love storms when he was a puppy, his father would have joked and laughed his fears away.
Helios shook away the memory and reached for another piece of wood. He didn't want to over encumber himself if the distance was exceedingly far. Strong as he was, he wasn't invincible to strain. "Where's your place anyway?" He asked, throwing the question over his shoulder. He set his collection of wood down and turned to survey the ocean and the sky. Dark clouds were accumulating with a frightening pace. He would be surprised if rain didn't hit within the hour. Hugging himself to relish the warmth that he had and hoping that whatever was coming would be short lived.
There was nothing he hated more than rain drenched fur.
