Nova Peak thought you'd never ask

To his unspoken pondering, he could have had her. If he'd had the balls to take her. Peregrine had been the only (living) prospect to demand her attention, and it was why she was with him now. The others had courted her, in their own way, but theirs was not the way that had won her over in the end. Maybe Peregrine was just in the right place at the right time.

"Is that really the best way to greet an old friend?" she smirked, knowing well and good that she was far from a friend at this point. Hell, how long had it been since she'd even spoken a single word to him? "I ran into Njal," she answered, more seriously this time. "Made me wonder how you and Bazi were doing. Heard something about Nova Peak, so I thought I'd come pester you for a bit." Was that so bad? She was a terrible liar, so she made no effort to spread falsehoods. She didn't have the creative muscle for it. Fox had always been the literal sort.
