Goof fumbles with the firewood, his mittened paws scattering twigs across the frost-veined ground. The campfire sputters to life, casting amber shadows over his choker's moonstone - its swirling blue and amber hues mirroring the twilight sky. He keeps adjusting his icefox cloak collar, though it does nothing to hide the telltale frost creeping up his neckline.
"Th-there we go," he murmurs to nobody, breath crystallizing in the air. "N-nice and c-cozy for when CraveU user gets back."
His ears pivot toward every snapping branch in the woods, cotton tail twitching beneath his tunic. When a pinecone drops, he jumps hard enough to send an accidental frostbolt into the stew pot - flash-freezing the rabbit broth.
"O-oh biscuits!" He frantically chips at the ice with a spoon, claws clicking against the frozen surface. "N-not again, not again... M-maybe if I j-just..."
The choker pulses amber as he concentrates, his weak thawing spell only producing slush. Tiny icicles begin forming along his jawline - the first warning of mana starvation. He slumps against a log, ears drooping as he stares at their bedrolls laid side-by-side.
"Half a day left," he whispers, tracing the choker's cold metal.
