Blacktail Deer Plateau come with me now, i'm gonna show you how.

Kaihra relaxed at Finley's offer to lead the way and agreed with a nod. That the grey girl knew at least part of the land that lay before them provided some comfort to the woman, one that Kaihra seized and stashed away before it could disappear.

Despite Finley's obvious excitement, Kaihra didn't sense the grey girl operated on a spirit of recklessness, and at this Kaihra found herself surprised. Finley appeared to be ready to strategize before making any movements up the face of the mount, and had already proved her ability to do so by exploring ahead before they began their journey. Though Kaihra's paws still tingled at the peril they could face on the path ahead, she chose to take confidence in her packmate's willingness to calculate their movement and slipped into a steady pace behind her companion.

The ground felt solid beneath her paws, though she kept eyes fixed on her feet to ensure she landed on the sturdiest parts of the winding path. Loose rocks lay here and there, and even the smallest could prove hazardous if stepped on at a wrong angle. The last thing they needed was a twisted paw. For a moment she flicked her gaze past Finley toward the mount, before returning her eyes to the ground again to watch for loose stones. Something in Finley's words set her stomach churning, and she replayed them in her mind. The grey girl expected to make good progress by midday before the real climb would begin. The mental and physical strain of climbing the peaks would no doubt weary them out, and night would likely fall by the time they reached the top. Kaihra felt her brows knit and her voice rang cool on the air. "Do you imagine we'll be sleeping on the mount tonight?"
