The yearling only told @Spica of her plan: that she wanted to do some exploring, simply so. She slipped away in the early hours of the pre-dawn, offering her twin to accompany or not, it was all up to her, but she did not want to be near the riverside today (or maybe tomorrow!) at all; the singular focus on puppies this, puppies that, feeding mothers, and tending others had long since grated on her nerves. So, she sought to put some distance there. Maybe some fresh air outside the place would help, or if nothing else, a welcome distraction from what had become an irritating tedium. Exploring to Ravensblood forest had been a good taste of it, but she didn't think that to be enough, and maybe this time she could roam around without running into her brother. Pointedly, she went in a different direction from where she thought he might lurk.
For a time she tracked along the riverside heading south, then when she recognized the familiar plains, she crossed over their open expanse--trusting that there would be nothing exciting there to see, and on her way, she found this to be largely true. Syrma didn't dip far enough to the east to find the great lake beyond because instead, she veered a course towards the towering heights of a mountain, merrily trotting along with her neck craned upward. Sure, there were peaks closer to Kaistleoki's claim but.. not like this one. When they had lived in Hoshor, she had only begun to explore, and never felt tempted by things like this then. But today was a different story as she felt foothills begin to give rise to the beginning of the mountain's elevations.
Not knowing what else there might be, she didn't rush up, but started to encircle the area that made up the mountain's base--hardly more than a dot on the grand scheme of things, though very happy to work her nose over something new.
