She always chose the long, hard way - what could be more fun?
Sundrum had the advantage of flight, but Rimetooth, although dragonborn, still lacked wings. She took the ground way.
And sometimes, the ground way meant crossing a narrow path within a giant cave within a mountain that blew harsh winds around, threatening to send her toppling over the edge and into the chasms below.
The dragonborn-snow leopard hybrid, however, had had her fair share of similar experiences - and at higher elevations.
As soon as she saw the light from the cave’s exit, she rushed forward, leaping out and landing with a slide on the snow, chuffing and shaking the residue off of her fur, which was now sticking out everywhere.
A whistle from above made her look, and Rimetooth grinned upon seeing her feathered friend.
“Looking crazy as always,” Sundrum chirped, landing in front of her furred friend. “You could have climbed.”
Rimetooth mewled, pinning her ears back.
“And miss out on the breeze?” she laughed, then purred softly, “wouldn’t dream of it. Come on, we have quite a hill to climb.”
