[ashaad]

So, this was new.

Ashaad waded through snow that stuck to him in icy clumps, working his stubby legs for all they were worth to power through it all. He was uncomfortable, yeah, but he knew he was making progress. The dark trail behind him where he sliced through the snow with his powerful, round little body was evidence of that.

“[color=#FF9900]Aw, beans,” He muttered, looking around himself. It was the warmer season, so there must’ve been somewhere to trek that was considerably less snowy, right? Somewhere the ice wouldn’t chew his toes clean off, anyway. To be fair, where he was now wasn’t that bad, but he was a small fellow and everything was that deep when you’re a small fellow.

Ashaad veered off course until he could clamber atop a stone that helped him see further. Those round eyes were good for much more than just looking cute. He stamped a paw against the top of it idly, bushy tail curving inquisitively behind him. He wondered how this place was doing. En route, Ashaad had heard plenty of worrying stories about what was happening in the valley, but it hadn’t been enough to deter him. He was stubborn in that way.

“[color=#FF9900]Hello?” The small tom called, half-hesitant.
