the starring role

For @Griffin, sorry this took so long! December kicked my ass

Exploring the vale has been fun. There are so many good potential places for performing. But today she's wandered slightly far from the Duskguard borders, up to the frigid lake that is permanently frozen over. She thinks, perhaps, this could be a great place to bring a few pack members for some fun sliding around on the ice!

Whistling, she trots through the snow that comes up to her shoulders, curled tail high and wagging. That's when she catches the scent of a stranger. She's been told that not everyone here is friendly, but that's gotta be fearmongering. She raises her nose to the wind and then catches sight of him-- a big man, compared to her, but that's not a great feat.

She barks a greeting. "Hey! Are you here to ice skate too?"

 Griffin was stood there, prodding his paw at the ice below him. It seemed thick enough, but he was worried it wouldn't support his weight. He was a... thick man after all. Any other word would seem unflattering and offensive. In his previous old age he was constantly told some of the words he used in his vernacular weren't too friendly. He's been working on it, even mentally.

 Through the snow came a voice. A feminine one at that. One that used a peppy tone too. Still, keep friendly Griffin.

 He turned his attention towards the stranger, his thick tail resting between his flanks. "Hello." He retorted with careful words, watching as she approached the lake before them. "Not quite. Just was inspecting the thickness." He admits he was always a geek at heart. All the work he had done just suppressed it to the point that nothing was there. That didn't stop it from cracking the shell at times though.
