Description
"AYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!"
The tiny esk squealed with excitement, the emotions rumbling through Sail's mind as he tumbled ever faster forward. Liet shifted her weight, getting a better grip. She was perched gleefully atop his head, one tiny grippy paw on each of his cinnamon stalk horns.
"FASTER SAIIIIIII EEEEEEE!!!"
He cut her off with another burst of speed, a deep chuckle rumbled in his chest as he bound over a huge fallen tree, sending plumes of powder into the air around them. He had shifted his size to be perfect for her to be able to hold on tight, and they'd been running for hours. They both bristled with unspent energy, and bounding through the freshly fallen snow was the absolutely best way they could think of to spend their day.

*WHOOMF*

Misjudging the width of a shallow vally, Sail thwumped head long into a snowbank, sending Liet flying from his head. She caught herself, floating gently back towards him, clutching her stomach, cackling wildly.

"Are you ok Sail?" she gasped between laughs.

He grunted and pulled his head out with a puffing sound. Heaps of snow clung to his fur, giving him the appearance of a ancient goatee. Liet lost it again, wheezing hard and drifting towards the ground, unable to catch her breath.

He chuckled and shaked the snow free and floated over towards her. He was much larger, and seeing him drift effortlessly off the ground was magical, his six soft legs swimming languidly through the air. She'd wriggled herself into a little pit in the snow, and lie at the bottom catching her breath.

"You okay little goof?" Sail crooned at her, his face filling the opening in the snow above her. He scrunched his face, his eyes narrowing to little slits. "Cause if you're not, I'll have to SQUISH YOU!" He roared, laughing wildly and pawing at the snow. Liet shrieked in mock terror and floated out of his reach. He thrashed around in the snow, rolling and scooting through it like an excited puppy. She giggled again, watching him flail about beneath her.

Ayla never played with her quite like this, she was fun, but she never quite matched Liet's excitement levels. When she'd created Sail, he was wide eyed and shocked about his newly gained mobility. Over a hundred years of spirit had built up within him and he knew he'd never be the quiet type. Liet was thrilled when she saw Sail, she could sense his overwhelming excitement and curiosity from the moment they met. Their friendship was new, but strong.

"RAWWWRRRR" he growled, plowing his face through the snow, carving a deep path that wound around several trees. Finally he collapsed, time to rest.
Liet floated over to him and sat on his back. He was still for a bit, listening to the forest around them, every creak and whine of the trees as they fell in and out of freezing. Liet busied herself with weaving a tent out of the saplings on his back. Her tiny hands deftly pulled and twisted the fragile branches back and forth throughout themselves, and positioned the leaves carefully around the top.

"Looky! A house!"
Sail turned and chuckled, it looked like a tiny hut. She perched inside and pretended to be a princess for a while.
"Can I be a conductor Sail?" she squeaked.
"Sure!" he laughed, lumbering to his feet. "Lets do..." he started, and suddenly there was a rushing sound. Out of nowhere materialized a sweet smelling liquid, brown and smooth. It swirled around them, steam rising from it in the cold air. He washed it over the snow ahead of them, melting it almost instantly.
"Boiling" he said. Liet nodded, eyes wide.
For the next several minutes, she shouted orders and he trundled through the forest, clearing a path with the hot cider.
Around trees and through gulches they wandered, exploring the forest and leaving a trail of sticky sweet drink for the insects that were straggling to find their home for the winter.

They approached the edge of the forest and Sail stopped.
"No its ok! I want to see whats over there!" Liet chittered excitedly.
"Okay then!" he padded forward, his elemental dropping off as his focus turned towards the new biome. The trees were thinner now, and before them rose some small hills, and behind those were larger hills. Liet sat up and looked skyward as the towering mountains came into view in the distance. Sail shuffled up one of the foothills, and Liet felt her flower fade away. Sail sensed it too, and turned to make sure she was ok. He cared a lot about how she felt, even if she said it was alright.
"Its ok! I promise" she said, patting her bald little head with tiny paws.
He giggled, and slid down the hill again on his belly. As they neared the forest again, her flower popped back into existence.

This is how they would spend the next hour or two, wandering back and forth between the biomes, leaving footprints here, and cider there, befriending a hare or two.

Adventuring friends.

I wonder what they'll find?
