Northstar Vale you are my friend

we're getting there, she laughed. they'd been doing surprisingly well, small stuff aside. i was hoping that we'd beat you guys in the race, though. it was a slight jab made in good humor. worried that andraste might not be as amused, the scout coupled it with another childlike giggle.

it was okay, bhediya said. it felt rude to admit that this wasn't meant to be her ultimate destination, especially with the warm welcome she'd received. instead, bhe chose to say, i've been meaning to come and check in on everything. we aren't too far apart so it isn't a hassle. it took less than half a day when the skies were clear, but the scout worried that things would become much more difficult once the shift in seasons ended.
