Thunder Dome I simply wander around you

Mmm, vanilla buttons. *Eats*

It was a tribute to Asterr's devotion to her new territory that she already knew so much about it. Its strengths, its secrets, and its ups and downs... quite literally. Thunder Dome was not just a landscape to her, Noctura knew this already, but it was admirable that she clearly also had respect for the physicality of the land, not just the soul it contained.

That was why she had evidently explored it thoroughly. Certainly more than he had — which was saying something, as he had spent all his time here so far roaming the area. And so Noctura accepted the challenge she put forth. They would venture up into the mountain and seek a way to that coveted ridge.

Wait... would "they"?

Clever idea, he confirmed. But please don't feel you have to join me in this. I imagine you've more important things to attend to. He wanted her here, beyond a shadow of a doubt, but hoped her intention was to share in an adventure rather than escort him out of obligation.
