“That is a big dog” - from Liv (born-to-hunt)

Heath furrowed his brows as he looked over at the creature.
"That's not a dog", he whispered, his eyes scanning their surroundings. Where their shuttle crashed there was nothing but cold, snowy wilderness, and the lone animal was staring at them, shocked. "That's a wolf." Heath searched for the others. "Her pack is probably nearby. Hopefully they're not too hungry..."
“Is it bad that I still want to pet it?” Liv muttered pulling her cloak tighter around her. She hated the cold, instead preferring the warmth of the ship.
Glancing over at Heath, she nodded with a small sigh, “We should find shelter somewhere else? Not sure the remains of our shuttle will have much warmth,”
Heath chuckled quietly at the other's reply that she wanted to pet the wolf. For some reason it was a really entertaining thought for him. Heath glanced back at their shuttle with a grimace, then turned back around to look for shelter. The woods wouldn't be a good place without equipment. Besides, if a rescue team should come, they'd need to be close to their shuttle.
"We need to remain near it", he decided, "and if a blizzard comes, it'll shelter us better than anything we build. If we fix the door, it's also good against animals. If there're wolves, we need to assume there're more predators. I don't really want to be the next meal." Thankfully, he wasn't cold at all, but he had to make sure she'd stay warm. His blood always ran hotter than humans', he wouldn't suffer much from this, but she wasn't so lucky. "Let us go back to the shuttle. We need to send signals as soon as possible. We could make a campfire nearby, and our datapad will help us identify edible plants. We have snow, so we'll have water, too. We'll be fine."
Liv nodded, she was more accustomed to street living rather than wilderness. Though she had some experience it wasn’t where there was snow. “I’ll defer to you, on this experience, the desert and urban environments are where most of my skills are in terms of survival,"
Heading back in the direction of the shuttle, "I can repair the door, or try to at least, I don't have all the equipment," Liv was avoiding anything to do with reading aurebesh, she still only could pick up a few words in the alphabet compared to Mando'a, and she was embarrassed.
"That'd be great", Heath rolled his shoulders back, looking around once again. He couldn't help but feel watched; the woods were eerily quiet, but that must've been because they had made a lot of noise when they crashed. The animals must've been frightened away, but it wouldn't take them long to come back. Hopefully they'd be the peaceful kind. Heath noticed that the lone wolf disappeared. He hummed. "I'll try and find dry branches so we can start a fire. I'll also check for food; we have some in the shuttle but it'd be best if we started to stock up, who knows what the weather will be like." He reached in his messenger bag and got out his datapad. Tapping a few times, he frowned. "It looks like we won't have storms for a while." He zoomed back from the planet and that was when he noticed: there were two moons. Heath gave no visible signs of the dread that filled him. "Let's get to work, shall we?" He asked, smiling a wolfish smile at Liv.
Smiling back at Heath, “If you find any more scrap metal, can you pass it to me? I could use it to patch up some holes,” she was already collecting the bigger debris littered around the crash site, some of it would be useable, “Won’t make anything space worthy, but can make a bit more shelter with it, keep the fire out of any wind, even without storms wind does occur,”
The engine would need to be sorted out as well, stopping any chance of an explosion would make this area a lot safer. “Once the doors sorted, I’ll work on the engine, making sure it remains stable, either will deactivate it, but if it’s useable we’ll have a limited source of power,”
