ISKRA
Goose is working on stripping every bit of leaf off a fallen tree limb, plucking it like a fresh chicken dinner. Whenever he gets one, he shakes it free with a toss of his head, the leaf fluttering off to the side like confetti. So he goes until it's small stems or bumps of broken stems of other branches remaining, and to those he gnaws absently, gaze zoning out into the distance as Iskra's flame dances nearby. The husky sees the pair approach, or at least, his eyes face them, but he's in his own world full of stick. Until they're close enough, noise, and smell, and too much motion returning the dog's attention, resulting in a startled series of barks, most of which are aimed towards the bear.
Iskra looks up suddenly, his flame sputtering out under the lost concentration. When he notices Alys though, his tensions eases a bit, and he shushes the dog adamantly. Goose responds with a grumbling complaint, ducking his head behind Iskra where he leans, hackles like a mohawk from shoulder to tail. "Ignore him, he got startled and now he's embarrassed." Iskra smiles up at her, ignoring his giant baby of a hound. "Alys, right?" He confirms, remembering the woman as being a friend of Elizabeth's. "It has, hasn't it? I haven't left Halo much lately—I guess that's foolish of me since it's gotten colder. It's so nice here." Breezy, but he doesn't have to bundle up. Not that he minds the cold, but sometimes it's nice not to be a walking pillow. "Oh I'm alright, just been working on training my magic a bit more. I hope you've been well?"

Never felt a feeling of comfort
And all this time, I've been hiding
I'm at one with the silence
I found peace in your violence
And all this time, I've been hiding
I'm at one with the silence
I found peace in your violence
