Nimbus Summit Home At Last?

Lane answered Calida's call quickly; she was the last of the pack to make it to the Summit, and Lane had been worried about her. 

Lane recognized an unusual heaviness in Calida's bearing. Noticing that the woman came alone, she wondered if Calida's spirits were low because she had been unable to locate Iota . 

"Welcome to the Summit, Calida. I'm so glad you're finally here. Tuuluuwaq and I were starting to get concerned." Lane smiled, and some sympathy showed on her expression. It was clear that she had picked up on Calida's unhappy affect, but she did not yet speak to press her friend for details.
