Barrow Fields synecdoche

Arlo has explored little outside of Drageda since his arrival and with the snow becoming less and less, he is finally given the chance to stretch his legs. He hadn't been much of a scout in Trigeda but he knew his surroundings. The only familiarity out of Drageda had been north in the tangle of woods Melchior and Eske had found him. The southern reaches is completely unfamiliar to him beyond the expanse of their redwood border but he continues south anyway until the fields open up before him. 

The uneven terrain leaves a curiosity but something pinches the back of his neck and causes him to stiffen. There is a strange feeling of something behind him but he tries to stifle it. Every glance backward is still empty and he continues to keep himself convinced nothing is there. The scent of another catches his attention and a sparse pine materializes in sight. The figure of another becomes obvious and he trots forward with breadth for the safety of the both of them. There is little extra to her scent and he tilts his head then chuffs for her attention.
