[div style="background-color:#BG COLOR;width:90%; overflow: stretch;text-align: justify; font-size: 8pt;"] eyes glancing around, snow mounted in piles before and after, ears laid back. the yearling gave a weary sigh, the serval tom looking at the snow before his path, his gaze flicking back over his shoulder to where the other young members of alithis evgenis followed behind him. biting at his lip, the strawberry colored tom would give a grunt, pulling himself through another drift of snow, the makeshift device for his backlegs wet and straining against his fur. shuddering at the snow slipping between his rear heels and the planks of wood tied there, the cold wetness making him hiss in discomfort. the sky was dark, darker than it was when he had left with the scouting patrol.

puffing out his fur against the cold and bitter snow, he led the group from the snow-laden coastal forest out onto palmclan's boardwalk, praying against all olds that the wooden structure would not give away beneath their group. struggling through the snow, he hissed out an annoyed sound, "gods be damned ... the snow drifts are worse here than back home ...", he would speak to himself as he drug himself through another pile of snow, enjoying the sounds of the other kids having some fun in the background, playing in the drifts. anything to keep their minds from the battle that was about to commence.

finally, he could see buildings, his shoulders aching with the cold and the strain he had been putting on them within that day. his body was so sore ... getting his mangled legs to work in the makeshift guide that his brother had made, and walking around in the snow behind the scouting patrol. he had important news to deliver, and he could practically feel the warmth of the lights in the shacks that he could see. clearing his throat as they came closer, he would call out, "hello! my name is laeglin, and i'm here from alithis evgenis! i'm bringing the youths with me!", he gave a deep yowl, body sagging into a snow pile with a soft oof, toes spasming from the effort he had put on his body that evening, one ear bloodied and missing, cobwebs pressed to it to stem the bleeding. taking a deep breath, he would announce, "may i please speak to someone of authority? it's in regards to the raid! bai shi has called upon palmclan to join the fight against the bandits!", he rumbled, pulling himself back up to his full height when he noticed someone approaching. -
