The fire that he and Nae had built earlier was dying down, mostly smoke and embers at that point. He scratched at his belly and pushed himself up, elbow resting against the pack he'd been using as a pillow. They'd arrived late in the morning after having traveled through night and had decided to break their fast and rest for a few hours before continuing on their trek. Taking the thick stick they'd left aside to tend the fire, he poked at the pile of ashes and smiled when a lump fell to the side and revealed some still burnable wood. The dying flames gained some life and flickered brightly, burning through the kindling and giving off renewed heat.<br/><br/>He liked being on patrol with Naegge', the other wolf tended to stay on duty and focused, unlike the younger pups that were sometimes sent out on training and who liked to play 'big bad wolf,' as he'd dubbed it a couple years back. After a few long moments of silence in which the fire started to ebb back down, Nilteni glance to the side and saw that the man was where he'd  left him before drifting off to sleep. "I think heading to the southern point first and then to the east would be good, as that way we can cover all we need to and loop back around to head home. What do you think?"<br/><br/>Another long stretch and he stood up as he listened to Nae's opinion, nodding along absently as the other man talked. He tended to forget the other man was blind, reminded only when he caught sight of his covered eyes, and so tended to act as he would with any other. The wood of the small hunting hut groaned and creaked under his weight as he went to the door. As soon as the door opened a rush of cold air rushed in to replace the comfortable warmth they'd managed to build up. "By gods, I always forget how cold it is out there."<br/><br/>The tie on his trousers undid easily as he walked back towards the spot where he'd slept. "The winds are picking up and what little light there is won't be lasting too long, so it'll get colder sooner than we'd expected." Nilteni dropped the trousers, stepping out of them, and crouched down by his things, quickly and efficiently stuffing them into the pack that he'd be able to carry once back in his wolf form. "I'll take rear if you'll take lead and we'll switch up halfway."<br/><br/>Nilteni shouldered his pack and made sure the straps were loose enough to accommodate his larger wolf form. He stood up, completely unruffled by his nudity and, after making sure the fire was completely out, headed to the still open door. When Naegge' was at his side he grinned widely and shook out his arms, neck creaking as he moved his head from side to side. A shiver ran through him and then the change took over, bones cracking and everything shifting in a mere blink of the eye. His senses would be sharper and his fur would help keep the extra frigid temperatures of the southern territories at bay; Nilteni glanced back towards Nae and gave a soft woof to let his pack mate know it was time to head out.
