They have keep up a good pace and the scout could not be happier for the lack of trouble on the way. With her gut instinct, luck, and some vague familiarity (she's been up this far this way all of once before), all paired nicely with Mato's help, it was apparently enough to keep this moving along smoothly. Jomyo knew this had the chance to be a valuable turning point in the history of the morwinyon's history. Sometimes, jogging along beneath the warmth of the afternoon sun, snow crunching at her paws, it felt almost too good to be true.

But she's kind of proud of them all, really, since she's seen how seamless a transition they have made to the road. She's used to it on her own. Some of them are not, and at least they're all well, and they even have two young little randoms in tow who were thankfully behaving enough. It's something, but they're not there yet; it's not time to even begin to let any complacency in. She will keep her sights sharp until they reach the vale, and then some.

She perked her ears up and looked aside as soon as she heard someone nearing. Dialing down her cruise control a bit, she nodded over her shoulder at Queenie's approach. "Oh hey," she swished her tail in a low, friendly wave when she paused for a few brief steps, letting her catch up easier before she would be on her way once more. "What's up?" she asked. Ever the pessimist apparently, she had to remind herself that she'd be raising way more alarms if there was bad news from the fëanáro's thorough rounds.

She glanced between the road ahead and her new company's expression, hoping for no bad news.. but curious. She wasn't finding herself all too bothered, although she had been very caught up in heading this route so far and getting them there quickly and safely--especially when she had never done something like this before, not with a whole pack worth of history and individuals at stake. Not a whole lot else had crossed her mind today and when she realized it, she wasn't too sure how to feel besides overwhelmed.. a bit. But that would change soon when they got there and settled down again.

Jomyo took a moment to decide how to answer. An exact timeline was difficult because a lot of this was very vague and dependent on what awaited them. Her plan guided them towards the hot springs from here, then instead of veering south to enter the mountain range closer to the lake, hoping instead to find the safe passage she had used to come out further north. It hadn't been too long since she had come this way.. so she was using that as a very rough, hazy guideline. "I don't know exactly. A few rests, maybe.. it depends on how bad the snow is up ahead but the terrain stays pretty doable through here up ahead--a forest, hotspring, meadow. Nothing rough until we hit the mountain." It also banked on how far they could keep traveling in one go. She was game, but there was a whole pack's stamina to think about, not just her own (another horrifying, overwhelming thought) to consider.

In exchange for concrete facts, she'd scatter some more details along to help: "We're more than halfway there, I'd say.. and we're making pretty good time for a group this big." All true, so she nodded.

The ambar hoped her summary was reasonable enough, no matter how vague her actual answer had been, and the merled wolf seemed alright with it. Jomyo kept on cruising, though to the next turn of the conversation, she quirked a brow. A favor?

A simple enough one, however, although the Eizokusei scout had no easy course to put her through. Only experience, and the desire for the goal at all. But, she could do that. She needed more miles underfoot in this span of the Teekon once they were settling and spring got comfortable too. Queenie seemed to have a good head about her, with a sharp set of eyes.. so Jomyo wouldn't mind having her come too if she was interested in it. "Yeah, maybe we could range out a little together after things settle up a bit?" And when she's done zig-zagging across the wilds for a minute. She didn't know what else would await them once there. "I can help teach you some basics that way. A lot of it just comes from.. doing it, and knowing what to look out for," she said, having always felt it came naturally to her but not everyone had been groomed for it from the start like she had.

As for.. in return? On the spot, and a highly independent sort, didn't know what she could be given right away. Did she need anything? Queenie seemed good at the defense and offense stuff, and while the scout had always relied on her speed and tenacity to get herself out of sketchy situations, she wondered if it might be high time to learn from someone experienced in the aspects just in case her usual go-to options failed her. "Oh? I don't know, like what? I'd have to think on that," she said, but interested enough. Possibilities were endless and Jomyo didn't want to explore them all right now.

Queenie wasted no time with a suggestion, one that Jomyo was plenty fine with so she went smoothly headlong into agreement. "Yeah? Alright. Won't hurt any to," she nodded, and found a lighter step just then too as she accepted all of it--from scouting with her to learning to fight better herself. Although the morwinyon's rule seemed to be a peaceful one, the scout knew how impermanent that could be given the right circumstances. She roved a lot all on her own even. Some modicum of skill when it came to a fight would do her some good and something about the undertones of Queenie's overall demeanor interested her enough to want more.

With that in mind, she turned her sights to the road ahead. Every step was one closer and by now, she really just wanted to get them there and situated--sooner, the better. Thankfully they were tolerating her pace, and she was in good company. Quite content to roll with these good vibes, she kept them moving along nicely for as long as she was able, towards their new home and all that would await them there.
