Somos staggered and shook off the snow, a bit shocked at the extent of control over his power. *Last time he only just sparked.* Guess a lot can go down in two years.
Blinking the last of the snow out of his eyes, Somos looked up to complain, when he spotted two eyes glittering in the darkness above them. At the same time, another voice began echoing through the chamber.
“Step no further, intruders!” The creature neatly dropped down from its ledge and landed on all fours, wings flared. Somos couldn’t help but gape at its likeness to his own features. This wasn’t just any cave creature. “Did you think you could waltz into our home uninvited? Sniff around at your own leger? Your kind has been tainted by those humans.”
Despite the hostility, the vayron-like creature smiled, baring her teeth. “But if it's exploration you want, then come. I have a job for you.” She turned and deftly climbed up the cavern wall, using footholds Somos couldn’t see and perched at the top. “It's the only way forward.”
“Nice,” Somos whispered to Frosty. ”You got us in trouble.”
He rolled his eyes at the other's exuberance and, with the slightest nudge from his powers, launched a sizeable wad of snow into Somos' face. "We aren't friends, Rat." He shook the remaining haze away. "But yes, I was exploring and saw an unusual creature, so I followed it." There was no need to mention that he wasn't even in the cave when he'd first spotted it. "Since you're here, make yourself useful and follow me." Without waiting for an answer, the dark runner walked deeper into the winding cave system.
A few beats passed before Somos realized that Frosty wasn’t going to answer. He seemed… embarrassed? He didn’t think he’d ever see that. “Uh- it's Somos, by the way. You can just call me that instead. Got excited exploring the caves, huh? You know, I was heading down here myself when I ran into you. I thought I was gonna have to do this by myself but I get to partner up with my best friend!” Somos chuckled, knowing the statement might earn him a smack with how their first meeting went. Anything to get Frosty to focus on something else.
That voice! He did know it.
His breath jerked as the fog of his mind continued to clear. " ...Rat?" It had been so long. What would *he* be doing here, of all places? The glow faded from his eyes as the last specks of frost settled, the blizzard giving way to an eerie calm. He looked around. Where *was* here? Was he in the caves he'd been wanting to explore? His claws dug angrily into the frozen ground.
How much time had he lost *this* time...
He huffed and loosened his grip before cold dread had time to settle in his core. It wouldn't do to show how out of control his condition was becoming, not when he had company. Turning his gaze to his 'companion,' he almost let out a snarky remark but didn't know what he could say that wouldn't reveal he had no idea how he'd gotten here.
So he stayed quiet.
