Hope you don’t mind the set-up of this—I thought we could continue straight after Snake was accepted! Slight powerplay. 300+
After bidding Kaena a respectful farewell, Snake was led deeper into the lands of Inferni by Hezekiah. They left the warning line of wolf skulls behind and continued westward to where Hezekiah said that the Caves were—where most of the inhabiting coyotes made their dens. Snake wasn’t so sure if he would join them immediately there, if ever. Though he had lived within the crumbling buildings in New Haven for his first few months, he hadn’t enjoyed it. While it kept the rain out of your fur, it also creaked with every drop—Snake had often stared up at the ceiling, counting the cracks and wondering when it would collapse. Therefore he had taken to sleeping on the road, wherever they could find temporary shelter. Seeing as though his life was bifurcating into a stationary life rather than his nomadic history, though, maybe he’d have to make some adjustments.
As he followed, he glanced at the sky. He had arrived and been accepted in the morning, and that morning was progressing now. While the expanse above Inferni was, at the moment, blue, it was beginning to gray. He looked out to the west, to where the ocean was, and saw that there was a menacing thunderhead stalking across the horizon, coming straight towards them. Not only that, but to the south also were more gray-purple clouds that were chasing across as well. It didn’t take a rain-prophet to guess that there would be a storm later. Then again, maybe getting a den somewhere where I won’t get drenched and struck by lightning would be a good thing, he wondered blithely. From the looks of things, and his past memories of how long it took storms to break, he calculated that it’d probably be an hour or so before the storms came over Inferni. Hopefully some shelter would make itself available by then.
He looked over to Hezekiah, still leading the way, and asked, “So, do you have a den somewhere yet, or are you still lookin’?” Just simple conversation.
