Business abroad? Eleuthera’s curiosity was piqued, and her mind immediately began playing images of distant lands and exotic, warm cultures. More than likely, this was not the truth of Kigipigak’s business, but Eleuthera easily found herself in a reverie of it — of a place she had never even seen, which hadn’t even been hinted at. But she could picture this burly northerner there just as easily as she could picture him upon the scaly heights of the raven’s watch. It made her smile, at the same time she replied “of that, you can be certain.”

Sensing that they must soon be off, and that their encounter was coming to a natural close, Eleuthera swished her tail in the bitter air and paced a step closer; then, two steps. “I am grateful to you for making my path a little clearer,” the shewolf confessed. If only he knew how he had rerouted her life at that moment! Perhaps it wasn’t the biggest physical distance, but what might have been now certainly would never be. For this, she was grateful. What might have been, alone and cold in her willows, likely wasn’t pleasant.

“Will I see you again, at the watch?” she inquired, wondering just how far this business was truly taking him.
