"Well, that's settled. Will we be leaving any time soon?"

"I would prefer to leave as soon as possible." Tor spoke.

"We can leave now" Iona spoke. Iku nodded, not realizing Iona was still on his head. "Ouchie!" He cried out as she dug her claws into his scales to prevent herself from falling. Iku held a wing down for the other to climb on top.

"Yeah let's go now!" Tor exclaimed, allowing a grin to spread across his face.

Iku smiled as Tor came onto his back. Iona stretched out. "mmm, its kind of cold today" She observed, her motions slowing down.

"Yeah, it is!" Tor replied shivering violently, he lay down and closed his eyes slowly.

"Iona?" Iku said, worried. He picked her up off of his back, holding her tightly in one talon, trying to keep her warm, she just curled into a ball, his efforts in vain. He placed her back on his back, his smile stayed, but his eyes looked sad. Being part axolotl meant he always appeared smiling.

Tor also curled into a ball, wrapping his tail around his body in an attempt to warm him up. Letting out a sigh of content, his eyes fluttered shut.

Iku let out a distressed cooing sound. "Iona? Are you awake? Please don't leave me alone" he whimpered, pacin nervously but carefully. "Iona! Please wake up!" He cried out.

Tor groaned at all of the noise and turned to the other side before curling up again.
