Emberflame Ridge Circle Check

When the strangers took notice of her it was the pale woman that turned first, and although she was initially very tense, that appeared to melt away from her; the iceberg was suddenly exuding a sense of glee, maybe even relief, and wagged their tail as they noticed Ibis. The woman's voice sounded a bit formal—and not at all familiar—but what really surprised Ibis was the use of her own name.

Ibis couldn't remember visiting Kaistleoki; so much had happened after that little hiccup in her plans. Faced with this woman and her charge, Ibis couldn't immediately make the connection and so she felt immediately warm in the face, her ears flicking in different directions as a subtle sign of confusion. Um, yes! That's me, she confirmed.

Are you on your way to Elysium? She asked next, figuring that would be one of the only reasons someone would be crossing through this section of mountain; but she presumed that these wolves knew of the sanctuary and that they hoped to find shelter there, which wasn't going to work out for them at all. Unfortunately the pack no longer exists there, the quakes were very hard on them and.. I think they left the region. Ibis' expression remained neutral but she felt the weight of the comments deeply. Hopefully she hadn't screwed up their plans, whatever they were.

It was just as likely these two were merely travelling in the area with no knowledge of the sanctuary, but... Better to be safe.
