The pond was in the distance of the traveling shepherd mix, and it seemed to be her final destination as the trail through the snow had ceased when she approached the edges of the pond. It was close to Kekoa territory, although she didn't mind - she held no beef with them. She couldn't help but wonder what the lily pond would look like, had it not been frozen over. Snow covered the dead foliage, and it looked serene to her. The air was crisp, her breath visible every time she exhaled. It had finally stopped snowing after an entire morning of snow gently falling. It was powdery, at least the top layer, while the several inches below was solid. Valkyrie had been relying on eating snow for water source, but one could imagine how old that got to be.
Her brown eyes looked over the pond before choosing a spot. She started to paw the fluffy snow away until her nails made a scratching sound against the ice. Valkyrie had no clue whether or not the entire pond was frozen solid, but now was the time to figure that out. She pushed her nails into the ice, scratching at it for a solid five minutes. It wasn't working. She pounced in place, the front part of her body rearing up and her legs straightened out before colliding with the ice. An audible crack broke through the air, but it was not enough. "What the fuck!?" She groaned to herself, her paws were starting to ache from smashing the ground. With a defeated sigh she dropped to her stomach, outstretching her paws in front of her and resting her snout on her legs. The cold didn't bother her, but it was the lack of flowing water that did. Valk hated the winter, almost as much as she hated the beach - which was a lot, mind you.
The soft sound of crunching snow caused her to whirl her head around, a defensive look plastered on her face as she looked at whoever was approaching.
