Moonspear in the land of not quite day

He could not speak for Lyra, but he could be a willing teacher so long as the mountain saw it fit and he nodded, happy to help. Granted that now was not the best time to learn its plantlife, although thankfully they had their stores and even in the freeze of winter, all was not lost entirely here; there was still plenty to see, even if it paled compared to the verdant springtime and summer.

Nevertheless, as a whole, a smooth enough transition. Again, he liked her answers and felt a curiosity still to know more--matching over a compulsion to see that she get to experience a mountain proper as their newest addition. Already her interest in their heights was something he felt had the potential to be a very good fit. He dipped his snout along behind Hydra's words anyway, for any further affirmations needed from him. Jarilo was all in agreement. Can do, he chimed, and swayed his tail. Likely, he would run across at least one of the pups unless someone had taken them all out collectively--but he couldn't guess which one may be loitering closer to the homebase today.

When it looked a bit like Hydra had wrapped it up here, and was probably on her own way soon, the Ostrega son addressed Katya specifically: I'll lead the way. If there's anything else you want to know more about here, feel free, he quipped before his paws took to motion, keen to show their newest member what the mountain had for them.
