Noctisardor Bypass Now you can post your eyeballs at THAT neck

Snow, always snow. Again Arbiter wound towards the outskirts. This time her patrol was with more of a purpose. She was looking for a sign of what happened to Terance or Pike -- they'd gone out on a hunt but hadn't yet returned... She hadn't been too concerned at first -- delays happen, after all -- but now she was getting concerned.  Even off doing a more distant hunt shouldn't have kept them this long. She could only hope that the weather here had been worse wherever they wandered and they'd be showing up soon maybe a little sheepish but otherwise not too worse for wear.

Some rotten part of her wondered if this was somehow on purpose -- that maybe Terance had taken their son and just plain left. That would be the sort of luck she'd had. Things just hadn't worked out right recently, and though there was that whole thing about stuff being darkest before the dawn, that didn't mean she wanted to wait... Instead, she wandered the territory as she always did, scenting the air for the sign of them, looking for tracks that were now slowly being smoothed to nothingness by the falling snow.

If they weren't going to show up this day, at least she could make sure the territory was tended.
