Blitz:
It was bucketing down and the male's pelt was being soaked by the icy shards of water that rained from the sky. Blitz liked most rain, but this was a different story. In Winter, it was always biting at you as if a wolf was attacking you with its large jaws. To say the least, it hurt. So he decided there was no time better than now to use his gift. He concentrated on the pelting bullets of water, letting them split in multiple directions so that there was a miniature bubble around him of dryness. He smiled pleasantly. Satisfied already, Blitz continued to walk and use his power as he went. As he was strolling, a thought flashed across his mind. 'This would be a great time to do a stunt, but what will I do?' The male wolf kept thinking as he went nearer to the Falls, though not even the slightest idea was coming to mind. He was a little annoyed by this, but still he thought and thought, until he realised the icy water was seeping into his coat again. Their cold grip making him shiver violently. Blitz frowned a little, but attempted to use his power once again to help him out. The male succeeded, but not without a little struggle. His head was already hurting from the short use of it and the rain was closer to hitting his flank than he really wanted. 'I guess I'll have to sacrifice some more rain-time this winter to improve my gift.' The male thought quickly.

Though he could not tell properly because of the overcast sky, he knew time must be passing. The water bullets had begun to slow their harsh pace and ha d become softer on him. This was good for he could not afford to use his power too much more today without a little rest. Another stroke of luck hit him. A gap in the rocks near the once rushing (but now half-frozen) waterfall would shelter him from the rain and partially the howling winds. He dipped his head gratefully, thanking the Power for such luck. It was a very snug fit, but he wasn't about to complain. The back of the small hole was walled tightly with rocks that had been laid there generations ago and the miniature entrance was well covered but hard to fit through. He managed to get his sleek body inside anyway and fell asleep almost the instant his paws touched the ground inside. This would be a hopefully peaceful rest.

Soran had wandered out into the cold today to try and find something more interesting to do with himself. He had been taking refuge in an old, abandoned den here lately due to the cold conditions. But after staying inside for so long, he was starting to get a little stir crazy. Staying in one place for so long just didn't suit the male's go-with-the-flow persona. So he had ventured out sometime this morning when the weather was somewhat decent. Unfortunately, his luck had made a turn for the worse when he started getting pelted by a frozen rain. That was just what the fluffy male needed was to be cold and wet. He was more than likely going to get sick from all this, his fur soaking up the freezing water like a sponge. He shivers before making a run for it. Surely there was some sort of shelter nearby.

Eyes search frantically for anything that might prove useful to the drenched wolf. He grumbles before spotting the large waterfall, there had to be something here. He quickly moves towards the waters edge, eyeing everything around him. Towards the waterfall he could make out an outcropping of rock. He moves slyly up the side of the rocks until he's under the rocky roof. He gives himself a shake, glad to at least be out of that awful rain. And at least he didn't have to worry too much about other wolves getting mad that he had taken shelter here. That's when a noise further back caught his attention. He blinked trying to focus behind the water as he sees a wolf moving slighty. "U-um....hello?"

[🌅Phoenix🌅]

Blitz:
He wasn't expecting company. Blitz looked up from where he was laying down and at the new wolf. His fur was drenched, just as his had been not long ago. Water was stil, dripping from his coat of course, but he was warmer now that he had dried off a little. "U-um....hello?" The voice of the stranger in front of him mumbled. He shook out his coat, probably splattering his company, though he hoped he didn't mind. "Hey there, Blitz is my name and welcome to my great cave." He grinned and bowed low, but instantly laughed. "Only joking, I'm just here to take some shelter from the hailstorm, wish it was just light raining instead. The name's Blitz just so you know, fancy having a bit of a dry off while we wait for the storm to pass? I'm looking into setting up a stunt for myself, though I doubt I'd get a good one in this weather." The skinny male grabbed a mouse that he had found hiding in a crack (probably finding shelter like he had) and brought it into the centre of the overhang. He chewed on the tail a bit before looking up at the other male again. "Oh and feel free to have a little bit," He slid a part of the thin mouse toward Soran. "I guess I don't mind sharing, even if it is Winter."

With the two bodies of the wolves inside the cave, well maybe it would be better to just call it an overhang, it was warmer and their body heat radiated around the cave. The steady dropping of hail and rain was hitting the stone above them and it was leaking just a little in a thin crack. Blitz waltzed over to the dripping water and held his mouth open, letting the moisture seep into his tongue and slide down his throat. Despite all the rainy weather, he hadn't been able to have a drink stop until now and he was a little thirsty too. Once he had drunk enough, he let himself sit down on the floor and glanced over at his company curiously. "Who might you be, if you're happy to lend your name to me?" The dripping of the water was getting faster, but he didn't notice. "You see, just calling you wolf or stranger just won't do it for me if you get what I mean."

Soran blinked as the male shook out his coat, sending water flying. Soran moved his head to the side has he was hit by some of the stray droplets. As if he wasn't wet enough, the other wolf had to share his cold water. But unlike most, the male wasn't bothered by it. He actually chuckled a bit at it, knowing that if he were to shake himself the other male was in for it. He chose to be nice this time though since they were just meeting for the first time. He had to display some sort of manners here.

Soran listened as the wolf just went off talking about the shelter and his name...twice. He was surprised his high-strung company didn't get tongue-tied from talking so quick. "It's a dandy meeting you Blitz." The white male got in as the other male temporarily went quiet. "I'm Soran. And yes, drying under here sounds good to me. Being such a fluff butt sucks sometimes. I get soaked more than everyone else." He says sitting down and giving his ear a scratch. It was nice to have someone else under here to talk to. He had been hiding out alone in an abandoned den for what felt like days. He needed some socialization in his life right about now.

"Could always just say hey you but then everyone in the valley would think you were talking to them." Soran laughs, quickly gulping down the part of a mouse that the other male offered to him. Even though it was so small, that snack hit the spot and he appreciated that Blitz offered it. He gives his legs a quick stretch before looking back to the other male. "You mentioned a stunt? What do you mean by that?"

[🌅Phoenix🌅]

Blitz:
It was great to see a good-spirited wolf around these parts. He laughed and smiled as Blitz talked and even replied to him. This seemed quite joyous already if you ignored the dreary weather outside. Though one thing in particular perked his ears. Soran had asked about his stunt. His small smile grew a little larger. What do I mean?" He paused a moment, possibly for accidental dramatic effect. "Just what the word itself means! To take some exhilarating, fun, and maybe unessary risks to give life a bit of spice of course," He accidentally but down on his tongue from talking so fast and the bitter taste of his own blood filled his mouth. 'Whoops! Better watch my tongue next time.' He thought with a dash of humour. Oh what fun he could have if he found just the right place. "As much as if would be great if you understand that amazing rush Soran, I am not yet sure you do. Have you experienced it?" He swished his tail on unconsciously and gave the stranger a chance to answer. If they were not like him—which he guessed was so—they'd probably think he was a little insane. Maybe he was just a pinch, but he thought he'd have to be sane enough to have a normal conversation. That was good enough for him anyway.

He decided to sit. Though he squirmed and wiggled on the spot with the untamed energy to pull off a stunt and run around like a maniac. Maybe he was a little more crazy than he first thought. He chuckled to himself, his face-fur adjusting for a small small. Who doesn't have that kind of energy? All Blitz knew was that everyone had to have a burst of willpower every now and then. He was pulled away from his energetic thoughts as he heard a large crash against the roof of their hideout. "Do you know what that was?' The male asked, purely out of curiosity. There wasn't even a hint of fear in it, or even a jump of fright. Just a male teeming with unused energy. Something wet touched his tail. Blitz looked behind him in confusion to see a quick rising rush of water coming through a large gap in the wall. That definitely hadn't been there before. Now he held a hint of fear. But that was only for a second before it came to excitement. A new stunt! So interesting... "Let's get going!" To no-ones surprised the rain was still pelting down as heavy as ever. His paws found muddy ground to slip along. He grinned with delight as an idea struck him.

"MUD SLIDE!"

His loud voice was dulled only slightly by the rain, the sound rebounding of rocks and trees surrounding the area. With a clumsy run up, he slid on his belly. His usually pure white and orange fur turning brown with the concoction of rain and dirt. It was slightly downhill, just enough to keep him going further and further. He tried to crane his head awkwardly to find Soran, but he couldn't find his companion in the heavy sheet of water from the sky. He turned his head back forward—right in time to see a thick tree only a metre or two from his face. He leant to the right, steering his body away from the dnagerous obstacle. Sadly he didn't clear it completely. His shoulder caught a sharp beach near the bottom, snapping it of the tree and scraping his flesh. Though he could not see it in the mud, or feel it because of the adrenaline, he knew it had done some damage to him. He tried to get back to his paws. Stumbling and failing a few times before succeeding. One question remained.

Where was Soran?

[Aquaria]

Soran watched curiously as Blitz suddenly got this big smile on his face. What in the world was this wolf planning? That was when he went on describing taking risks to have a little bit of fun. He still wasn't entirely sure what he meant by all this so he listened intently as the hyped up wolf continued. "I'm not sure I've experienced what you're describing but it sounds intriguing! Like something that would be comical and entertaining! I like the sounds of it honestly! My life has been so dull I need something new!" The wolf says excitedly, his tail whipping back and forth happily. Most wolves would probably consider Blitz crazy but Soran liked him. He seemed like someone who would be a heck of a lot of fun to hang out with!

The happy thoughts faded as there was a sudden crash overhead. Soran jumps, staring up at the roof of the overhang. What in the world was that? He looks back at Blitz as the male asks if he knew what that was. He shakes his head nervously. It definitely was not thunder so something wasn't right. He then spotted the water that began streaming in behind Blitz. The other male noticing it as well as abit of fear crossed his features as well. It seemed like their little shelter was being compromised by the massive amounts of rain still pouring down from the sky.

Soran jumps abit as Blitz suddenly takes off, yelling lets get going. Soran nods and tries to quickly follow after him. The wet ground making it hard to keep his paws underneath him. All of a sudden he sees Blitz hit the ground and go sliding ahead. Soran tries to keep himself up, running behind Blitz the best he can. But his back paws lose their grip, sliding underneath him and knocking him onto his rear. He slides down the hill on his butt, trying to use his front paws to direct himself through the mud with little success. He ends up almost ramming into a bush nearby, making him fall backwards to try and avoid it's branches. He was now sliding down the muddy hill on his back, his four paws just dangling in the air. He needed to stop himself somehow.

He tries to look around for something to grab onto but mud begins to fling at his face, forcing himself to put his head back down. He had no idea where he was or where he was going at this point. Heck, he didn't even know where Blitz had gotten away to. So all he could do was keep sliding along, hoping for something to help stop him. Luckily....or unluckily, depending on how you look at it, Soran is stopped by a boulder along the path. The male has the wind knocked out of him as his whole body hits the rock unwillingly. He gasps and tries to catch his breath. The collision had hurt, making his whole body ache as he tries to get to his paws. He needed to find Blitz, his legs wobbly as he looks around. "B-Blitz?" He manages to croak, trying to get his limbs moving again. If the other male was nearby, he would be lucky to even recognize Soran. The white, teal, and golden wolf was literally caked in mud to the point he appeared completely brown now.
