Lion Head Mesa she reeled in my sight

Arielle was relieved that neither Aves nor Merrick tried to argue that she stay in Akashingo. She wouldn't have let them make the decision for her, but she didn't really like the idea of arguing with either of them. Plus, it showed their faith in her and the bear that they thought she was capable of attempting to get close to their enemies and gather information. 

She nodded when Aves offered another reason her presence would be helpful. And when Merrick urged them to go with the bear, she dipped her head. You as well, she softly replied. The mix of emotions in his gaze were comforting, filling her veins with warmth and her heart with confidence. 

She then looked to Aves, her expression stating she was ready whenever he was.
