Kuri's head tilted at Terra's reaction, looking up at her through his leant over position. Did she just laugh at me? But she went back to focusing on her fishing hole. He watched her for some time before continuing. That's when he heard her pounce, he shot up to attention. After observing, he too took a few steps back and pounced at his little hole. He heard some cracking, he looked down titling his head left and right to the sound of the crackling. He scratched at the surface again, then dove straight onto it. Frustrated, he put both paws in his hole, and pressed down on it repeatedly with his back into it. This... Is getting... Nowhere! Aaaaaagh! Suddenly the ice broke and both his front legs dropped down into the frigged waters, elbow deep. He yelped in surprise and skidded backwards, tail tucked. He then shook off immediately once he was up. He couldn't look at his Alpha, he was terribly embarrassed. Instead, he sniffed towards his fishing hole he so-graciously-made.
He peered down into the crystal clear waters, seeing his reflection looking back at him. Suddenly an azure colored fish swam by unknowingly. Kuri lifted his tail alert, but the scent of something familiar came about. Blood. He looked down and saw blood matting his fur and smeared onto the ice where his paws had been.

Terra was in the middle of carving deeper grooves into the ice crosswise to the first ones she had clawed in when an audible splash caught her attention. Immediately, she whipped around on her heels to see Kuri nearly chest-deep in water, scrambling back from a new hole in the ice. Along with the alarming scent of his blood came a wave of guilt that crashed about in her mind. Her attempt to run was met with legs splayed in all directions, slipping as she lost her balance and her weight was thrown off-kilter. Having misjudged her momentum, her claws found no purchase as she began to skid and her relatively large frame bumped into Kuri, nearly knocking them both over. As she scrambled back to her feet, sides heaving, she stuttered, "Sorry! Sorry, I... are you okay? I should have shown you first, oh I'm... I'm so sorry. Here..." Before giving him a chance to respond, she had already begun to nose at his wounds and lick away the worst of the blood, her body crouched beneath the weight of the guilt that had crept its way into her skull. "I forget this is a new thing for most... You've got to... well... Let's get you cleaned up first. I'm sorry, Kuri," she murmured softly, momentarily forgetting her position as alpha. She was a huntress again, fussing over a huntmate who needed some patching up.

Kuri was bumped abruptly, he skidded for a few paces, legs splayed and claws screeching on the ice until he stopped. He rightened himself. Terra was apologizing, he looked at her sideways, somewhat astonished. "It's fine. I'm fine." He felt miserable. She's apologizing for something that was my fault. That's when she began to lick his wound, he brushed against her. Now he felt like a pup. Even though he didn't have the ideal pup life. "Thank you. But, i'll manage. It's a scrape i'm sure Munae will have no problem with this when we're back at camp." His wound starting to clot and stick to his fur. He looked back at the blood still on the ice. "What do we do about that?" He asked. "Cover it with snow or..?" He trailed off. "Best take care of that before we hunt for fish. Don't want the scent to linger and carry off." He padded around the fish hole, seeing if blood was still being carried on his paws. Only a couple prints managed before no marks were made. "Again, thank you very kindly. But, what do we do next Alpha?" He cleared his throat, still feeling embarrassed.

"There will be blood on the ice regardless if we catch any fish, but you're right; we should do something about this." she said, still glancing at him to assure herself he was alright. She absentmindedly began to scrape nearby snow into the space around the new ice hole and then shook herself once, becoming more focused on her task. "I'll show you how to dig out a fishing hole without getting wet, or at least without getting too wet." Terra added, shifting her gaze to the half-finished divot she'd made in the ice moments prior, "It's still cold, I mean, so is catching fish, but it's better than tracking a yearling doe through snowdrifts for half a day in blizzard conditions." Realizing she was rambling, she quickly silenced her tongue and continued moving the nearby snow.

Kuri blinked acknowledging at her remark. He knew he could always use practice in any subject, especially at his position. I should know this already. He thought to himself. Kuri started assisting in covering his blood with the snow using his snout. "Yeah, I can agree to that." He huffed. He's been on only a few hunting parties. His past position within the pack didn't require him to take part in hunting. He mainly was a scavenger or took up small prey if he could while out scouting. He's made quite a few sightings of large prey, calling, and watched them play out. He never particularly wanted to be a hunter. Now, he will have to fit all ranks. "I've fished before. But, i'm not particularly skilled at it. Maybe there's something i've missed or could change?" He looked at her, ears perked. If anyone could teach him the right way, it would be the alpha.
He finished up covering the blood and trotted over to his fishing hole. He peered down again into it. He saw a fish, but not close enough to the surface. He waited, tilting his head this way, and that, not moving his paws keeping as soundless as possible. Time passed, and he could see one coming near from the bits of the ice that wasn't covered in their snow. He readied himself, then went for it. But, his jaws snapped quickly, multiple times on nothing but the frigged waters. He snorted, water having somewhat gone up his nose. He went back over to Terra, maybe she had better luck.

She went back to her own in-progess fishing hole, watching Kuri from the corner of her eye as she clawed deeper into the ice. A twinge of sympathy ran through her as he came up back up with dripping, empty jaws after unsuccessfully diving for a fish. She had made good progress by the time he came over, ice beginning to form on the edges of his soaked muzzle. "Pouncing is good to weaken the ice," she said, giving a few hops on the significantly thinner patch she'd clawed out, "But, like you learned, you don't want to accidentally go through." She reared and brought her front paws down onto the ice a few more times, quickly lifting herself up into another rear after each strike to keep her weight mostly concentrated near her haunches. Afterward, she used only her right front paw to press and dig into the ice, spreading and curling her toes to give her claws as much strength as possible. Not but a few moments afterward, the thin ice broke through and her one paw dipped into the freezing water, sending a wave of bitter cold up her leg as she withdrew it. She took some more time to claw at the edges, pulling more chucks of ice out onto the surface of the river to widen the hole enough so that it wouldn't immediately freeze back over. "Patience is a great friend... Fishing takes a lot of it, I'm sure you know." she said, looking back up at him as she flexed her front right foot to get the blood flowing again to warm it up.

Munae let out a low hum as she glanced warily from side to side, twinned black ears pinning against the sides of her head while her tail swished back and forth. It was annoying in some ways, having such dark fur against the snowy outer world. It made her easily visible, and that wasn't always safe or fun when she was trying to avoid the company of others. The fae eventually exited, peering through the twisting brambles and twigs before sliding out from behind them and hurrying along to do something entertaining with herself.

Baron's eyes narrowed as he gazed into the snow covered forest, looking out for any signs of life other than his own. After a few seconds, the male swore he picked up a twinge of movement from up ahead, downwind in the direction to his left. His lips drawing back into a crooked smile, he started stalking in that direction, trying to move carefully so as not to cause much noise or distraction.

With Baron, ridiculously stupid and unaware of his presence, going off straight ahead, Whisper took a turn to the right and went off on his own. There was no need to engage in his packmates this early unless necessary, given they would all be much too brainless and sleep-envious to be any fun with in a conversation. He didn't need that. The wolf wanted something fun and enjoyable to play with, so he could consult other wolves later.

Mora lifted a paw to her face and licked it before wiping her face with it twice, giving herself a brisk clean early in the morning. She glanced around at the camp, eyes alert as she watched her surroundings.
Filing away her packmates locations for later purposes, her gaze momentarily drifted towards Eban, before she went back to cleaning her face. She'd have to leave soon. She needed to hunt, it was her job.

Eban
Palecrest ○ alpha ○ tags; open
The male sat quietly near the edge of a small precipice outside his den, hunched against the chill breeze that swept across the main Kislios isle. Grasses long-dried from the cold, dead season of winter ruffled stiffly in the wind, frigid stalks wreathed in the previous night's frost. A younger wolf might think he could not wait for Spring, but the alpha's eye saw a land laid out before him that was blissfully at rest under Winter's careful touch. He lifted his nose to breathe in the morning as the bleak gray blanket of clouds above him thought twice about releasing their gentle snowfall. It was peaceful, and though the cold brought aches to him now, there was no better feeling to him than the light isolation born from a late Winter morn. It was as though the world fell dim and gray and left him alone with a head of thoughts that grew increasingly more empty. Meditation is what some might have called it, though as Eban's eyes drifted shut, he fell into a tranquil doze.
