Now that Frostfall was back, Murtagh wasn’t allowed near the ponds and rivers anymore. His mothers didn’t like him going near them anyway but when there was ice over them apparently there was some extra danger. He was still a little fuzzy on just what would happen if he were to try and walk out on the ice but his Papa had made it sound bad and that was good enough for him. Usually.

After seeing what water was like when it was warm and moving, Murtagh felt a new fascination with the solid form. Oh, he was careful to keep his distance but it was just so cool to watch.

Aware of his promise to not venture onto any of the ice, he contented himself by getting near to it. He was convinced that something was living behind one waterfall in particular and it required constant vigilance. Maybe it was a witch! Or one of those monsters Papa had been talking to the warriors about. He didn’t feel brave enough to actually walk up and investigate without some combination of Macaria, Areli, Aeolus, or Erthë (them being the friends he felt comfortable to invite into some shenanigans) but he could keep an eye on the frozen water sculpture. He was so sure he had seen movement! But he figured he’d need to confirm for some proof before he went and told someone about it.

Today was going to be the day. It was chilly and the grey clouds overhead promised flurries later on but for now he was unhindered as he made his way to the tree that he liked to hide behind when he was keeping an eye on the place. Perhaps not the best hiding spot but Murtagh had a couple tricks he liked to think worked. First, he rolled around in the snow, trying to get himself as covered as possible so that he would blend in better. Clumps stuck here and there to his shaggy winter coat but he easily imagined himself as being utterly invisible against the snowy backdrop as he peeked around the trunk of the tree and started his watch on the witch’s hideout.

Sorrelina tagged along, inspired by Murtagh's game and rolling around in the snow after him - just one step behind - and then crouching next to him by the tree.
