Night of storm [Shiver]

[Deleted]

Harsh snowstorm raged from the skies. The weather felt really cold and because of the snowstorm, the lone wolf walking through the forests couldn't see much. Wind messed all the possible scents and only things what could be heard was winds howling. Kaiho was trying to find shelter, he was freezing and tired of this winter. His muscles ached from the cold, and he just wanted to rest, somewhere away from the snowstorm. He came closer to the old ruins. He hoped that from there he could find some shelter. Old ruins created small caves and great shelters to hide from the storm.
Kaiho reached the ruins, and slowed his walk. He was careful. Anybody could be hiding in the ruins. Right now he really didn't want to meet anybody hostile, he didn't have energy to it. He lowered himself and tried to be as quiet as possible, as he walked through the ruins looking for a nice place to escape the storm.

Raven laughed as the wind and snow tugged at her fur. It was amazing! She had never been in a storm like this. But when a chunk of ice slammed into her reddish muzzle she decided to find shelter. Raven trudged through the quickly deepening snow towards the huge ruins nearby. A stone column loomed ahead of her. She wondered why it hadn't fallen down like the rest. Before she could inspect it any closer white snow blinded her eyes. She sighed and loped forwards.

THWAK!

Raven tumbled back away from the thing she had hit. It didn't feel like stone. It was warm and fuzzy. "Ow!" She whimpered.

[Deleted]

Kaiho blinked snow away from his eyes. He thought that he saw a nice looking cave that had formed from fallen ruins. He tried to shake some snow off from his fur, even though in no time he was covered in snow again. He huffed and slowly walked closer to investigate would there be any good shelter.
The wind blew right past him, so it didn't carry any scent or sound of other wolves to Kaiho. So when suddenly, out of nowhere he felt something hit him, he felt like his heart had stopped as he yelped in surprise. He turned around quickly to see what had hit him. He saw that it was a wolf with grey-orange fur. "E-excuse me?" was the first thing that came into his mind and he asked it before he even thought about it. His heart was still racing from the sudden surprise, and he watched the other carefully.

Raven's skull hurt from the collision so she opened her eyes with a wince. In front of her stood a shaggy silvery male who almost blended in with the snow. When he spoke she was at loss for words. But the biting cold of the blizzard tugged her back to reality. "I am so sorry. I didn't see you there!" Raven barked loudly over the howl of the swirling wind. Leaning into the storm she padded closer to the stranger.

[Deleted]

Kaiho heard how the female wolf apologized. But in Kaiho's mind he felt like HE was supposed to apologize from her that he was in the way. " I uh... it's okay." He just managed to say, trying to say it loud enough that it could be heard behind the wind. He sighed and blinked a couple of times, trying to still calm himself from the surprise. He totally was not prepared to get hit on a dark, stormy winter night! But the female wolf seemed to be actually sorry, so Kaiho tried to relax a little bit, because she didn't seem to be threatening.

[Deleted]

"Are you okay?" Raven said worriedly. Not waiting for an answer, she steered him towards a small cave opening. The snow made it extremely difficult to squeeze into the cavern. But once they were inside it would be better. "Sorry about this," Raven grunted as she squeezed through. " I just can't stand the cold any longer." Inside the cave it was warm and soft with barely living moss padding the rubble floor.

[Deleted]

"Oh, yes, I'm fine." Kaiho awnsered. "Just got startled...."
He saw how the other started to lead him towards a small cave, which he actually had seen before. Kaiho followed her, although a little unsure. He hadn't expected to have company today, and he wasn't good at being with other wolves. He just pinned his mouth shut and ears lowered a little as he followed her inside the little cave.
"Uh, Sorry, I've been searching for a shelter, so..." He started to speak as he laid down to the other side of the small cave. "...is it okay if I stay.. for some time at least.." He continued speaking, looking down. Kaiho felt actually a little ashamed and nervous, being suddenly on a small space with a complete stranger.

[Deleted]

"Oh relax. I wouldn't mind some company." Raven curled up into a furry ball merely four inches away from the other wolf. "So, what's your name?" Raven said subtlety. She turned her pricing amber gaze towards him.

[Deleted]

Kaiho held his head high, just staring at nothing. He only took some quick glance towards the other female. He was never good at keeping an eye contact.
"...I'm Kaiho." He answered. For a moment he actually kept and eye contact with his blue and green eyes, before turning his gaze towards nothing again, because he didn't want to seem rude or arrogant.
"....How about yours?" He then made himself ask.

// I'm going to sleep now, it's 1:37 at night here in finland :'> Good night~ //

[Deleted]

When Kaiho looked into Ravens eyes, her gaze softened. She then looked away. She had never failed to keep eye contact before. What was so different about Kaiho? When she asked her what her name was, she smiled and said softly. "Raven." She then closed her eyes. But his shy face was imprinted on the back of her eyelids. She breathed in his smell and payed her head on the springy moss. He smelled of ice and fresh growth. She sighed and whispered a goodnight. But she couldn't sleep knowing Kaiho was there. So Raven rolled over to stare at the red and orange painted rock above them. Sheltering them from the icy fury of the blizzard outside.

Ooc:goodnight!

[Deleted]

Kaiho heard a soft whisper of good night from Raven. For a response, he only nodded his head a little, even though Raven probably didn't even see that.
Kaiho still hold his head high, he couldn't sleep even though he was a little tired. He was just watching outside from the tiny opening. The blizzard was still raging outside, but here in the cave, was pleasantly war. Raven, who apparently couldn't sleep, radiated nice warmth that actually made Kaiho to relax a little bit. He didn't have to worry about anything now, he told himself in his mind. He was in a nice warm shelter with Raven, who seemed very kind. But he just couldn't help but feel like he was a in a wrong place and a nuisance.
It felt a little awkward for Kaiho to be in silence, so for a moment he gathered his thoughts and bravery. "So uh... do you belong to any pack, where do you come from?" He asked, voice a little hoarse from the cold.

[Deleted]

Raven stared at the ceiling as she spoke. She finally understood that Kaiho was very sensitive. "I don't belong to any pack." She said almost proudly. Then she sighed and rolled onto her stomache resting her head on her paws. "What about you, Kaiho." She said his name reverently, as if he was the only other wolf in the world.

[Deleted]

So Raven was alone in the world too, like Kaiho. Or maybe wasn't, Kaiho thought, she could have many friends in the wild. Kaiho was sure that she had, nice wolf like her would easily get friends. Even though it was predictable that Kaiho would have to answer the same question, he still sighed as he thought about it. About how he had run away from his 'family'.
"I don't belong anywhere" He said, as he finally laid his head down on his paws, like Raven had.

[Deleted]

"Hey,I know!"raven exclaimed leaping up. "You can belong here, with me!" She looked so happy say the idea of company. She had never had a true friend before, maybe Kaiho could be her one and only true friend. She looked hopefully at Kaiho.

[Deleted]

Kaiho raised his head again as Raven stoop up, looking at her slightly puzzled. The more Raven spoke, the more taken aback Kaiho was. Her suggestion came behind the corner, and for a moment Kaiho just looked at her mouth slightly open. She looked so happy, Kaiho didn't want to disappoint her!
"Me? I... can I?" He finally stuttered. He was unsure that can he really be a good friend to someone, and he doubted it. "I don't know if I'm um, good company..." He continued talking uncertainly.
