After the initial sighting, she sets out; pays no mind that it had only been mere hours after the beast's leave-taking; the scent of blood and the vibrancy of flesh still ensnared within her mind; leading her to the little glen where @Andromaque and herself had, by whatever means, come face-to-face with that hulking thing itself. And in the sleuthing, the investigating of this unknowable scent, the crannies and the nooks that it has wended its very way throughout, she finds its—

— ... leavings.

For all of it, her pallid face remains a relict of impassivity; and for all her dignity, the blanchard strides with as stately a manner as she can to this fuming, festering mark upon the very earth they all seek to claim. Would that she wished to howl for @Abedi ... but could not; not without gagging on the repulsion of stench.

All the same, perhaps there might be something to discern of its initial origins beyond the valley.
