Qeya River You're gonna catch a cold

As she waited for a fish to come within range, she heard Tuwawi behind her and internally cursed. She knew of Tezca's affections for her, even if it wasn't confirmed the true nature of those feelings, and therefore knew the fire woman's presence here would be a driving force behind him continuing his own. While she was confused still on her own views of his remaining vs leaving, orders were orders. And if it came down to them attempting to bring him home, she would make that task near impossible.

Leaving the fish to their icy stream, she slipped out onto the bank, shaking water from her coat and appraising her. "Tuwawi. I heard that you had returned." She was surprised. Though she did not know Tuwawi well, she was aware of some of what had befallen her and led to her brief, harsh rule at the glacier. If it weren't for Tezca, she might have felt a sort of kinship to the agressive former Queen. But she wondered what these lands could possibly hold for Tuwawi. Why come back? She did not ask, but there was a slight lilt to her words. Curiosity.
