The invitation for Meerkat to offer direction was taken with a brilliant stride. As the girl spoke, it had become clear to Issorartuyok that she had not merely boasted her strength in scouting, she had done well to learn the territories that surrounded her home.

Issorartuyok bowed his head curtly to Meerkat when she had finished her instruction.

A talented scout. I thank you, Meerkat of the glacier, for your assistance and knowledge, the large male gave to her in the form of a respectful parting. Knowing that he did not need to remain there, the northerner set his gaze upon the mountains to the west and began his journey.
