When her daughter rushed to the ice-covered shore line Ibis was taken a bit by surprise but she hurried after the girl, calling out at the first sound of the ice splitting beneath Lilitu's paws, Get off of there! And even before Lilitu could do much, Ibis was firmly grabbing her tail and giving a tug. Ibis was not going to let Lilitu have so much freedom that she might harm herself.

A small, oddly warm voice called from some ways off and briefly distracted Ibis after that. She shot the other woman a hasty look of concern which melted to apology, as Ibis felt embarrassed for her own commanding tone while thinking they were alone.

Hello, Ibis offered, then quickly said to Lilitu, Come, we have a visitor. As if this event had been planned well in advance. Lilitu being a social girl, Ibis hoped the presence of the white-coated woman might inspire her to obedience.
