Duskfire Glacier greed

tags for ref!

two days to rest.
at midmorning, lestan called to @Kigipigak and @Sakhmet, to tell them he was leaving on his excursion. the clock could begin now.
he wanted to ask amalia along, but ultimately this was a test. after all, his place among them was not yet determined.
lestan could not hide his excitement as he left the borders of natigvik, traveling upriver. the closer he came to the glacier, the larger the chunks of ice were.
noting this, lestan inhaled. to his left, a field of lupine flowers spread pleasantly. golden and indigo, they kissed the ankles of mule deer which lifted their heads to look at the wolf.
he opted not to stop.
by the afternoon, lestan made a stop in the formerly named bosk iana. the trees here were almost achingly beautiful, and a pleasant song wended through the branches. here he sat to rest, to look, and to listen.
