Oh, to be young (OPEN)

First impressions weren't so hard to make, now. The first time she'd gone out of her pod, the world had been nothing but a beautiful mess of colors and shapes. To her, this could be anything. The world is a huge art and she wants to be a part of that art, or at least, to help build that art with the other creatures that reside it. That's why, when she was born, she was more than excited.

Now... she wasn't so much.

Snow gradually falls from the sky and covers the ground, and her crawls were slow against the sloppy trail. It was cold. So cold. She could barely breathe in this snow -- she might be exaggerating, but it's true -- and every huff if met with a puff of smoke coming out of her nose. The world right now is nothing but a blank slate, with nothing else to make of it.

But then again, that's what she said. Help build that art with other creatures. And right now, she had friends.

Saoirse slithers up to the orange fur, Logan, and turns her head to River to see if she was trailing behind as well. "Bah, so cold..." She mumbles under the orange fur's feet, shivering. "Was it a mistake to be out here? We could head back if we want to, you know."

Logan was turning out to be quite the ally…she never would have guessed it, with their first seconds together. The orange fur had formed something of a pack with the two of them, and now she was offering to carry Saoirse so she wouldn’t have to crawl through the cold. River was grateful to have met the both of them. How would she have handled this alone? The thought made her shiver more than the cold. Yeah, time to think of something else.

Saoirse gestured to the left. River didn’t know what lay in that direction, but it was as good as any other. She sped up a little, not wanting to leave her friends behind but also not wanting her feet to linger on the same spot of ground for longer than they had to. The air was warmer. Slightly. Maybe she was bad for using this advantage, but she didn’t think she’d be able to crawl on her belly even if she wanted to. Her form was a bit rounder than Saoirse’s, and not as long.

“We keep moving, the land around us might change.” She wasn’t sure if she was talking more to them or herself. It was more a thought than anything. “Maybe find somewhere warm, with lots of water.”

All three of them seem to agree going left. River's statements make her nod in agreement, determined as ever to reach the said left direction. Anything is better than nothing. The ice seems to get thicker the more they walk (or crawl, in her case), the temperature more colder to her liking. Shelter and some food to supply them for at least a few days is preferable than the cold right now.

As she journeys with her three friends, Logan asks a few things. It piques her interest, a smile flashing on her lips as she looks at the orange fur. "Yeah, I'd think I want another tree too," She begins, eyes casting up to stare at the sky above them. "supplied with food to last us days, of course! And I'd also want you guys to be there with me." Another smile, before turning to the green fur. "How about you, River?"
