Dragoncrest Cliffs daughter of the king

This was further than she'd meant to go, but as per usual, Maia had gotten lost.  Now that she'd at least found the ocean again (how the heckity did she lose an entire OCEAN) she had a decision to make.  North? Or south?

Seems like the sun was that way, she thought, looking out behind her.  That meant south, since she'd been coming here this morning, right? Right.

Uuuuugh, why can't I just pay attention!? I'm such a space cadet, she groaned.  Since taking up more solo scouting missions after Wraen's rise to leadership, she'd gotten into the habit of talking to herself.  It was one she kept, even now that they were back on the road together.

Long way home, but at least it's pretty.  She stared out off of the cliff... and then noticed the wolf, standing right there.  The wolf who probably had been standing there all along AND heard her talking to herself. Oh my go...

Maia flushed.  Oh.  Uh, heyyyyy.  I was just... yeah.  If a wolf could die of embarrassment, she had to be close.
