He knew what to expect at the Climb, and he knew how to prepare suitable for it. He left Auni behind - while the luxere's antlers might prove useful in the dark, the companion was built for cold weather, his pelt thick and insulating. Auni was meant to stay in Halo, in safety, at least until all the mysteries of this new region had been discovered.He dressed quite lightly, wearing only a single layer of pants and shirt over his underwear, shifting into a leopard for most of the trek through Halo, using his shift's fur to keep him warm across the Tundra and Sea of Glass. He was able to carry his bag of supplies too in this form, a simple bag containing water canteens and his throwing knives.
Once they arrived, he held onto his human form, looking curiously over the manticore form that Remi held, and at the others too. He'd be lying if he said he wasn't amused on some level at Morgan's handling of the heat - it was about as well as he handled the cold, which was to say, dealing with it. He fetched his knives from his pack, and tucked them onto his belt, hoping he didn't have cause to need them.
Like the others, he was sweating too, not having felt such humidity for a while. He took a sip from his canteen, and echoed Morgan's words. "As ready as I can be."
