Hopefully this will all be over soon… Lucas cuddled into Skye, stretching his paws out towards the fire.

Skye curled around him, scooting closer.

Lucas fell asleep, and nothing eventful happened in the night.

Skye tried his best to sleep, though he failed for most of the night, letting Marco sleep as he took another watch.

(Should they actually get to the place today?)
In the morning, Lucas helped to pack up and the three of them set off the same way they had yesterday.

(Possibly)
Ske kept up a fast pace, ignoring his aching paws as they went.

Lucas's wounds still ached at this point, but he knew he was on the mend. At least they seemed to be fairly close to the city.

Skye slowed around noon, padding quickly through the trees ears alert.

"D-Do you think we're close?" Lucas asked Skye, shivering.

Skye sighed, "I hope so…" he said, unable to feel his paws again.

Lucas looked behind them over Marco's shoulder, making sure they weren't being followed. "We've gone pretty far. I think we might actually be pretty close."

Marco nodded, able to understand him as Skye relayed the translation. "Probably, cause we could all use some warmth.

Lucas nodded as well. "It'd be easier if I had more body fat… Oh well. All we can hope is that we arrive sooner rather than later. He lay his head down on Marco's shoulder.

Marco nodded, "You're not the only one on the thin side, remember?" He said, keeping him close as Skye padded through the trees.

"Mhmm…" Lucas kept watching behind them intently. He occasionally saw local wildlife, but nothing he was worried about.

Skye eventually stopped as they came to the edge of the forest. Overlooking the buildings of the city ahead Marco dismounted to let Skye shift back.

Lucas hopped onto the ground. He figured it would be best to stay in dog form for now since he was still injured and stood beside Skye as the other transformed.

Skye carefully scooped him back up once he'd shifted back, burying his frozen hands in the other's fur as Marco took the lead

Lucas licked Skye's hands in an attempt to warm them up, occasionally glancing around warily. They were almost to the gates of the city now.

Skye followed Marco into the city gates and down the nearest alleyway, looking for a spot to warm up

They found a little back alley where they could set up camp and start a little fire. "I can go beg for food, if you'd like."

Marco shook his head, "nope… you're staying here with your half frozen soulmate…" he said firmly, "Leave food to me."

"I… Alright…" Lucas curled up against Skye next to the fire, pulling bits of ice from the other's fur.

Marco smiled, "Just between you and me, he's crazy over you" he said, before jogging off into the streets.

Lucas's tail wagged softly and he continued his grooming of his soulmate. He tugged Skye a little closer to the fire.

Skye watched him tiredly, admittedly shivering a little as the other worked.

"You okay?" Lucas licked Skye's face and nestled beneath the wolf's chin.

"Just cold…" he murmured, curling around the other.

"Mm… hopefully the fire will help." Honestly, Lucas liked being held like this, at least in dog form. His tail thumped softly on the concrete.

Skye nodded, letting out a shuddering sigh, shivering a little.
