Antha Blackwood Mayfair – it sounded as though she had lived a full life, found a man to make into a husband, and had built many names upon it. The northerner nodded his head to her. He was appreciative that someone knowing of the terrain had found him. The glacier man would have offered to bring Meerkat, but their last conversation had not ended the way he had hoped it might. For a moment, he was troubled.

I am Issorartuyok Tatkret, of the white north. I thank you for your help and my young companions will be pleased to have another on our journey.

She wished to know what he sought in a territory.

Somewhere safe. Somewhere fruitful. A place where families can be made and can grow.

He only added after second thought, perhaps a place that will please a man who loves the snow. Then he smiled to Antha.
