"Maybe..." It was easy to tell he wasn't crazy about the idea of the 'cat' coming along with them. Though he didn't trust a lot of living things to be honest. Not with how they could be turned against someone with simple will commands and spells. But he kept further thoughts to himself getting on the other horse and catching up to Emily's stride.

"The harsh weather almost could be called a blessing, sooner or later we'll get ahead of the storm and the forces trying to give chase will be stuck in it still." He smirked a little liking that fact. It would delay the Queen's men and that was exactly what they needed. It helped that currently their whereabouts were unknown or at least he hoped they were to the Queen's eye. Out here it was hard if not impossible to place tracking spells. The weather destroyed a lot of spells let alone provided blind spots.

Emily kept to following the map to make sure they didn't get lost. That was the last thing they needed was to be lost out here in what seemed to be a light blizzard. Though after traveling for most of the day the storm seemed to give them a break, a breather almost as it stopped hounding on them and the wind seemed to calm.

The harsh weather never seemed to bother Alton but his home had laid in the more northern lands, not as much snow as these areas but still rather harsh and biting winds. But also there was the fact he knew his time was becoming more than short. Each day he felt what life he was clinging to dwindle. The more energy he wasted in magic the faster this decay would happen. But at the same time he had to train her. Emily had to be prepared and he knew he wouldn't be able to aid her much in her final battle.

"We should stop here while the gods are giving us the blessing of a clear sky." He spoke getting the horse to stop as he waited to see what Emily would do. "While the weather is calm we should also get to work on training you some more... though your powers will require quite a bit more energy here with the life force of most living things being buried in snow or frozen from the sparks of the sun."
