"We'll continue forward. I'm certain the tribes aren't too far ahead. With the cold and the aftermath of the bandits, they won't be moving fast. They were never meant to get caught in the middle like that."
"It's alright." Jakys murmurs, sighing softly at her words until he smiles slightly, trying to relax here "I'm sure we can explain when we get there."

"It's alright. I'm sure we can explain when we get there."
Once she takes what she needs from the deer, she stands and wipes her hand in the grass and snow, cleaning the blood off. "Take what you wish, Onyx," she says gently. "We'll go on ahead. If you want, you may bury the rest so we can retrieve the bones later."
He grunts and sniffs at what was left, tail wagging a little as he tore into the ribs, gnawing on one. However, his actions, though feral, retains a grace and elegance to them as he's careful not to get blood on him.

"I just hope everyone made it out okay." Jakys murmurs, waiting by a tall fir tree for her, resituating his pack

"I just hope everyone made it out okay."
Esper remains quiet as she starts forward, gaze on the ground. Though, as the branches above rustle in a breeze, she raises her head and looks out into the woods, expression falling a little. "Weather is brewing. We'd best hurry, lest we get caught in the storm."

"Weather is brewing. We'd best hurry, lest we get caught in the storm."
Feet stopping at her words, Jakys pauses before he looks at her "You should scout ahead, see if you spot them."

"You should scout ahead, see if you spot them."
She shakes her head, then gestures for him to keep up. "No, if we separate now, we could get caught in it alone. Onyx won't have an issue navigating this stretch of forest-- It's close to his home. But for us it would be unwise. We'll keep going."

"And if I fall behind and we get caught in the storm anyway?" Jakys asks quietly, keeping up with her for the moment

"And if I fall behind and we get caught in the storm anyway?"
"I'll figure it out if it happens." She looks over her shoulder as she hears Onyx, and he lets out a low rumbling sound. She moves to his side and hoists herself up onto his back, looking at Jak as the wolf stops. "Get on."

"I'll figure it out if it happens. Get on."
Eyes widening slightly in the corners, Jak's jaw ticks as he looks up at her, wary "He can carry the both of us?"

"He can carry the both of us?"
He lets out a snort of disbelief as she smiles. "They're dire wolves, Frey. They can carry anything they desire. And they're swift about it, too."

Jaw ticking, Jakys studies the two a moment longer before sighing, walking over and climbing on behind her, hands at his sides. "I'm on." he murmurs, exhaling

"I'm on."
"You may want to hold on," Esper says quietly, smirking at Onyx takes off, weaving through the trees with ease, nearly unhindered by the weight.

"You may want to hold on,"
"Whoaaa!" Jakys mutters, arms going around her waist immediately after he almost falls off, swallowing as the wind whips past and knocks his hood down

She lets out a whoop as she laughs, laying low on Onyx's back to avoid branches. And it wasn't long before Onyx is forced to stop as another large wolf appears in front of him. The wolf growls lowly at the three of them, crouched low, and out from the trees come several warriors, both from both clans with Vras at the lead. He steadies his horse, eyeing the three of them suspiciously before his gaze lands on Jak, and it widens.
"Jakys Frey?" he murmurs, then to the wolf, "Amaj, Rao." The wolf stops growling and straightens, changing quickly from feral to civil. "Where is the Sherai? Have you found her?"

"Jakys Frey? Amaj, Rao. Where is the Sherai? Have you found her?"
"Vras." Jakys murmurs formally, nodding his head to him before his smile fades "I did. She's in Norcrest, a town not far from here. I left her in the company of a blacksmith, along with Iniago. She's safe." sliding from Onyx's back, he walks over to the man, relaxed "There's someone I'd like to introduce you to, as well as the tribe."
