The Sunspire the exchange

Rannoch's attention was nabbed by Blondine's unexpected request for an audience. He replied with a howl of his own and promised the caller that he was on his way to where she was. 

"Almost there!" he called to the one-eyed woman once she was in sight. Rannoch's pace then increased to a quick clip, and his posture straightened; despite his welcoming spirit, he would make she that she understood that these lands were his. 

When Rannoch stopped before her, he glanced at the present that laid at her paws and then met her remaining eye. "What brings you to my borders?" he asked.
