Larksong Grotto you will only hear these elegant crimes

BACKDATED HELLA
April 25th

Come on, @Lily! The boy called breathlessly behind him as he ran; he had led his friend out of the territory with every intention of having fun today. That was something they didn't do often enough, he thought. So, he took her past the territories of stone and ice. The paths were winding and treacherous, but he was determined to reach the destination he had set for them.
Alarian had never actually been there before— he had only glimpsed the grotto, climbing over icy peaks on his way home from the coast. He glanced back at Lily, slowing as they came to the first of several sets of steps; the structure was stair-like, but being a wolf, Ali wouldn't know that.
Careful. The Governor murmured to her, putting one paw forward to delicately test the stability. After a few beats, he deemed it safe, and started to work his way down. He looked back at Lily every so often, to make sure she was doing okay, but otherwise his gaze remained fixed on the body of water at the center of the territory.
