As his momentary insanity died into occasional chuckles Phala relaxed a little. He took in a few deep breaths to quell the unusual laughter entirely before turning his head back to lip at his brother's light mane though he was already well out of reach. "Guess so..." He said as he bent the leg that was nudged.

"That's not true, you know." It didn't take him long to get his legs out of the deeper snow and back on to his path. He shook each off to shed remaining snow, though it was hard to tell if there was even any on him at all. "I'd freeze solid...no shaking." Phala flicked his tail, playing at being dismissive, as he got back to walking back to their sister.

The way he saw it, freezing would happen second, first he'd just pass out. Had he gotten any sleep before wandering off? He liked to think he had but maybe he was just imagining it. The exhaustion that was settling over him suddenly suggested that he'd been running on nothing but fumes for the last...however long he had been out there. "Home" or not, wanted or not that's where he'd be able to sleep.
