Sunspire Mountains seven sleeps

She was pretty sure that seven sleeps had passed. And still, with no sign of Valette, the girl had grown restless. Until, finally deciding that she ought to go see if Valette was coming, and perhaps meet her on the way, she had carefully unearthed the mouse she had been keeping extra special just for Valette,  and without telling a soul setting from the borders in the same (ish) direction she had followed Valette days ago. 

She had grown hungry after such a long while of travel, yet didn't even consider eating her gift for Valette. She simply continued on, that is, until she came to the base of a rather imposing mountain.  When the slopes required effort to climb did she stop with an exasperated huff, berating the existence of stupid, tall mountains.
