Whitefish River but that's not where mine lives.

Set around the 20th-22nd! Tagging @Akavir if they want to appear too. Also tagging @Howl or @Ira or -- yknow whoever wants to intercept them.

They moved on from the plateau, and from there it became easier for Ibis to gather her bearings. She knew by now that Kaistleoki would have migrated to their original claim and so she was unafraid going forward. When she got tired she would tell Akavir, and they would rest together - or spend a few hours enjoying other aspects of their shared company - which meant their travel lagged a bit, but the girl was happy. Happiness was difficult for her to keep hold of, so she was somewhat covetous of Akavir and the attention he granted her. She studied the sound of his voice when he spoke, and would often watch his body move should he take the lead. His ink-dark coat blotted out all the light around him, but sometimes if the sunlight slanted just right, he was framed for golden hour by a dynamic, almost angelic, aura.

As soon as Ibis found Ira's scent along the riverside she thought to call out for her, but then abruptly chose not to. They were friends and their packs were allied, but perhaps she was busy — Ibis could recall all the hard work that went in to running a pack, and she empathized deeply, which earned her silence. It took a little convincing to prompt Akavir to follow her across the invisible line, though. They could rest easy here, maybe even grab a bite to eat, before the hard climb in to the vale.
