// Had Renred mentioned that she was smarter than he was, she would have laughed and out right denied it. Of course, she had her moments, but she correlated her level of intelligence to her ability to get herself lost and her tendency to run into others. She'd not been kidding when she thought that perhaps her fur was meant to be blonde.
At his statement, she merely grins and gives him a playful nudge. As he wonders about the geography of the area, however, she is puzzled. Logic told her that it was indeed likely that their river wound back into a place in the forest untouched by the fire. Where that was, however, she wasn't sure. Her best guess would be to find the river and travel along it until they came across some desirable plot of land. It may not be entirely efficient but it was a good way to find territory with the water they desired. She shrugs, pondering their options. "I guess we could try following the river for a while." She pauses. Having wandered from their territory, she wasn't exactly sure what areas had been affected by the fire.
His hope that she possessed a better sense of direction was doubtful. She was faintly familiar with Gallop Free and, perhaps in better weather, she could probably point out the general direction of the river, but being surrounded by what was essentially water in a different form was another story. As he scents the air for water, she snickers, noticing his predicament. The snow and ice was too similar to separate from an actual source of water. \\

Renred nodded when Tia agreed with his idea. Even if they had no clue how to go about it, at least they had the same strategy. Scenting the river was out of the question, though -- any attempts at smelling their way there would just lead them in circles through the ice and snow. How, then, could they find it?
Well, he could see the woods in the distance; at the very least they would be able to find shelter and hopefully food while searching out the river. Perhaps, if lucky, it would smell less like water too, since the trees would keep most of the snow from falling to the ground. Come to think of it, that was probably their best bet for finding the river; the male's ((mail's xD )) ears perked at the thought.
"I have an idea. Perhaps we can just head to the forest and hopefully scent out the river there? There should be less snow and ice on the ground at least..."
He shrugged. Thinking on it, he realized it would possibly be a long and potentially hard journey if they couldn't find food or came upon wolves or other large, hungry winter predators. At least it would provide cover, though, and maybe his idealism would hold out and they would miraculously find the river.
He could hope.

// At his nod, she begins to look around the area. Obviously there was no river in sight. That would have made their task entirely too easy. There had to be some sensible place to start. Her eyes return to Renred in time to see his ears perk. She tilts her head curiously and listens to his idea. And this was why she considered him to be the cleverer of the two. She instantly grins and nods. It seemed so obvious now that he'd said it. The woods would provide a bit more shelter and the trees kept the snow from falling to thickly. "That sounds great," she agrees with another nod.
Of course Tia had recognized the downside to this method as well. They could wind up running into a pack of wolves. She nearly shuddered at the thought. They'd have no chance if that happened. Not unless there was an opening to run. She pushes such concerns from her mind and steps forward to nudge Renred on the shoulder. "Shall we get to it then? We can hunt along the way," she offers. Hopefully they would run across something to eat. It would be a shame to have to go too far out of their way once they started their journey. \\

Sometimes, Renred wondered if he and his mate shared the same mind. They just seemed to agree on so many things, to the point that he couldn't actually remember the last time they had honestly disagreed on something. Normally they just shrugged and said they didn't mind, or agreed. It was, he reflected, a little creepy sometimes.
Oh well; it made decision making a lot easier. He noticed Tia squirm slightly, though she hid it well and nudged his shoulder instead. The forest could end up not being so helpful after all, but there was no point to thinking about that. He instead nodded at her.
"I don't know how much food we'll find in the forest, though; the wolves have probably picked it clean." He thought that was probably the closest to disagreeing with his mate he'd ever get, and muffled chuckles at the thought. Tia would probably be a tad baffled if he laughed at the idea of wolves cleaning out a forest.
Shaking the rest of the chuckles away, the fox turned to his mate. "Shall we?"
((Wow, sorry, terrible post x.X ))

// Had he brought up the fact they seemed to constantly agree, she would have been a little unnerved. That was a bit unusual wasn't it? It did makes things between them easier though. As it was, however, she had not noticed this strange pattern they had going on.
She ogles at him. Was he chuckling at something? Hard to tell. If he was, he was fighting it. What was so funny about the wolves clearing out the forest? Heck, they could be snacks for said wolves if they were hungry enough. Her ears twitch at the thought. "Could probably find some rodents at least," she murmurs back. Surely there would be some little creatures taking shelter from the snow in the forest. Ones that hadn't fallen prey to wolves.
Tia bobs her head at Renred and falls into step beside him. Perhaps luck would be on their side and they would be able to find a suitable new territory without much stress. It would be nice to have a warm little den to sleep in for a change. \\
((Wow, they really do agree a lot, don't they... oO And don't worry, mine post sucks. I'm out of practice. Hey, were we still planning on these two having kits?))
