The sun was suspended over the falls at the highest point it would reach today, soaking the world in light, but failing to provide much warmth. Tiny crystals of frost still clung to the grass in the deepest shadows of the forest and the cascades of water were bitterly cold. The Hidden Falls were on the very cusp of Frostfall, though Orangemoon wasn't leaving without a fight.
Ezital paced along the edge of a shallow pool, where the mud came up to his fetlocks in some places. He barely noticed. The cold snap had filled him to the brim with restless energy, demanding to be expelled. There was no reason for him to be anxious over the looming frostfall, it wouldn't be like it had in previous years. The herd here seemed rather tolerant of his loner tendencies and lack of proper social skills. Vitani even seemed to like him. He was certain they wouldn’t let him starve or shiver.
Perhaps he should seek out some better shelter, something more permanent than sleeping under the stars in the woods each night. Many of the horses here seemed to favor living in a cave, as distasteful as that seemed to Ezital. But at least it would be warmer than lying in the snow.
He turned on his heel and headed towards a cliff he knew to be riddled with shallow caves. The first he checked reeked of animal, probably an opossum family or something even more unsavory. The second had a floor that was far too rough and pocked, while the third was entirely too small.
Sighing, he flicked his tail and resigned himself to an afternoon of looking at caves. This was going to be much, much more work than he'd thought.
