Leaving the territory almost felt wrong after being gone for so long in the first place, but Ries wasn't going anywhere far. Besides, the foothills were easier to travel through, and felt better underfoot. There was no threat of taking an embarrassing tumble halfway down a mountain (a major exaggeration) like he'd done the other day.
There was something calming about this place. The breeze in his fur, the wide open spaces, the shifting grass... it was peaceful.
And Ries needed the space. As much as he loved being home - and he certainly did! - he still felt the need to wander, to see new things and meet new people, and he hoped his family didn't mind. He'd always come back to them at the end of the day.
He had no destination in mind as he walked, simply enjoying the nice weather, when the sky began to suddenly grow dark. It was like it happened all at once - the sun vanished behind gray clouds, the heavens opened, and snow began to fall like rain. It wasn't a fun snowstorm, either - oh, no. This was nothing short of a blizzard.
Ries yipped in surprise and bolted for the nearest cover he could find - a tiny copse of trees, hardly visible through the whiteout around him. He slipped beneath some of the denser underbrush and let out a sigh of relief, sheltered from the blizzard for now. It wasn't ideal, but it was definitely survivable.
He just hoped there was no one else out there struggling in this.
