Duskfire Glacier palace steps

When Hatshepsut came into view, Danica gave her packmate a small, distracted smile of acknowledgement. The other woman made no attempt at conversation and she too was happy to leave it in silence for the moment.

She walked on for a while, all senses alert, before she found it appropriate to speak. It still felt strange breaking the silence... like she was intruding. An odd sensation for Danica since she normally spoke her mind rather freely and without too much restraint beyond that required by necessity of hierarchy.

"I have found no sign of the creatures' den, though I know that it has to lie within our borders." She let out a frustrated sigh. "It seems no matter how often I patrol, I am missing something." She wondered if perhaps her companion had found any trace that might lead them to the home of the lynxes. They needed to find the den if they were to truly rid themselves of the dangerous nuisances.
