Ri sighed softly and pulled the map out looking at it "err that i think" she handed the map over to Heaven trusting her to now how to read the map better then she did.

"Not good with maps hm?" she said simply tone dry as she took it and looked over it glancing at the girl out of the corner of her eye for a second. At some point she would have to admit she was as good with a map as a fish was with shoes. Right now however she wasn't willing to do so, instinct would guide her well enough she thought as she rolled it back up. There were some marked placed to avoid but only having a vague idea of where they were...
She took a single look ahead and went with what felt right. Anything southern would have to be to the south obviously she thought as she began walking, perhaps when she was alone at some point she would actually be able to look over it again and have it make sense. She'd had a good enough idea how to get here but the mountains were another thing entirely. "Straight ahead." She said without stopping seemingly fond of that direction. There might be circles made but she was sure they would get to their destination soon enough, in one piece or not.

Ri shrugged her shoulders "err not really maps are so not my thing, i think a tree would have better luck then me" she began to follow after Heaven making sure to sniff the air once in a while for danger, but with Heaven so close it was kind of distracting.

She turned back at that, it was brief but there was an 'almost' smile there softening her features gently and for a second she contemplated admitting her short comings where map reading was concerned. Then thought better of it not quite as willing as she thought she was. Whatever the moment was it had passed and she retained the information deciding not to divulge. "I'll get us there..." she said instead as she continued somewhat distracted by the brilliance of the snow and the gradually increasing amount.
She was begining to feel just a hint of the lengendary bitter chill that hugged these mountains and the surrounding area and she had no doubt it would be worse as they went higher. For now she could manage well enough. "...You'll see." She finished quietly.

Ri smiled and said "I trust you to do so i know you want lead us wrong" she moved ahead and began to crouch and sniff softly her nose turning into a snout with a soft pop and crunching sound her feet turned into pawed feet as well "you know i never new i would be so glad to be a hybrid breed"

Heaven nodded as if to say she shouldn't think it any other way watching with increasing curiosity as she moved ahead crouching and sniffing. She didn't know why it was she paid any particular attention right now, she was perhaps wondering what she was sniffing out but then there was the pop and lo and behold a snout looking very much out of place right now and before she could rid herself of the incredulous look across her face there came the paw feet.
She didn't realise it was her laughing the sound melodically gentle and what started as a bubble she couldn't hold back became a full blown laugh that seemed to have no off button and she covered her mouth as she tried to stifle it. "Ri you look absolutely ridiculous."

Ri smiled and watched Heaven her tail wagging she made the girl laugh it made her happy to know she was the one who did it.

"I didn't know you were able to change specific parts. It's rather worrying." she said as she continued walking trying to stiffled the rest of her amusement. It was strange enough that she'd been so willing to laugh openly to begin with but it had crept up on her such that she hadn't been able to keep it back. The rest of her walk was completed in silence and a small smile she couldn't seem to rid herself off. She looked back intermittently to look at the footsteps she'd left behind her trailing after them, one human the other decidedly not. She soon came up to a sign. The text was partially hidden under the fall of snow and she moved forward to wipe it off and read it. A small frown touching her forehead. "From here on in we're in mountain regions, such the sign says at least." she said out loud as a small piece of snow landed on the tip of her nose soon followed by a second the snowflakes melting almost as soon as they touched her nose.
She reached up to wipe it away before holding her hand out. It was soon filled with small snowflakes that melted in the heat of her hand. First slow and then faster they came as it began to snow falling round them without a care in the world. It was almost like being caught in a snow globe and for a moment all she could do was stand there watching it in admiration. She hated snow, but even she could not disregard it's beauty.

Ri smiled at the snow and held out her tongue to catch the tiny flakes. After catching the first few she pulled her tongue back into her mouth. "So are we getting closer, snow is fun and all but it can get really cold after a while if you don't have some fur" she looked over at Heaven "and you don't exactlly have any fur. I don't wont you to get sick or anything"

Heaven fixed Ri with a short curious look, one that usually followed paused thought. Her expression beyond that was unfathomable as usual, settling back into usual ways again like a protective layer. "Are you worried about me?" she questioned softly, her tone equally unreadable but if she had let it there would have been the same curiosity that she'd had but a second ago. "Or do you simply worry about me slowing you down instead?"
"I wouldn't worry too much if I were you." she said finally without waiting for an answer, she didn't need one to know which it was, she would after all worry about the same thing. "I'm perfectly capable of regulating my temperature should I choose." the snow however was a different kind of upset that she couldn't possibly rid herself off, so trudge through it she would but sometimes there were moments like these when and she smiled a little, so small it was almost an illusion, you just needed to feel drops in temperature. Just to know, you could still feel. The goosebumps stood out now all along her arms as the snow crowned her head and shoulders with snow dusting her cheeks and lashes from having looked upwards.

Ri shook her head and moved to pull a scroll from her pocket unsealing a fur cloak she moved to catch up with Heaven sliding the cloak over the girls shoulders she said "yes i am worried about you i don't wont you to get hurt" moving in front of Heaven she tied the cloak on to the girl "please wear this to stay warm"

The girl didn't have an answer for that and stood there under the fur cloak like she'd been petrified. Not at the contact but simply uncertain it seemed of what to do surprised by both the simple thoughtful act and at the words. Worried about her getting hurt? What a stupid ineffective thing to worry about...Would she really? She queried silently for a single moment her certainty of things wavered.
But it was soon back in place. Just because she was worried about her being hurt it did not ultimately change the reason for it and that could only be born of that inane selfishness humans were capable of. Just like she was, only, she didn't attempt to hide it under kind words. Her brows drew together as she spoke, not angry at anything more than the small spark of hope she could feel as small warmth in a heart so used to locking away such useless things. For her own good.
“Thank you, but I do not require any assistance, I am capable of caring for myself.” She said and yet her hands held onto the cloak with no obvious intention of letting it go.

Ri smiled at Heaven and let her face pop back into human shape moving close she said "Heaven its okay, you know" she wrapped her arms around the girl in a hug "I won't hurt you, plus your stronger then me so its not like i could anyway" gently and slowly she kissed the girl softly on the cheeks "i wont let you get hurt though there is nothing wrong with letting someone protect you"

Her gaze narrowed at the hug and yet she made no effort to push her away...yet. She would at some point, or perhaps she simply just didn't feel motivated to move right now. Whatever it was it was no doubt logical, made sense and certainly had nothing to do with the very idea that she liked it enough to let it remain. No, she was simply...biding her time…as it were.
I’m not so sure, was the first thing she thought of at Ri's words. She wasn't so sure being stronger was helping. Whatever it was Ri seemed to do to allow herself get away with so much was obviously insidious and fast spreading. Effective too she thought at the kiss on her cheek her face remaining decisively passive even if the rest of her wasn't. She could safely say no one besides her had ever dared something so foolhardy, and not once either.
"Perhaps. But the fact still remains that I am better at it." she answered simply that and the fact that she wouldn’t trust anyone enough to look out for her wellbeing she added silently...stubbornly.

Ri sighed "you are very stubborn you know" she let go and moved back away from Heaven her nose and mouth once more turning into the snout of a wolf "anyway lets get back on trail."
