Ocean's Breath Plateau ethereal

Ariadne had set off in their direction when she’d heard @Barbatos’s call. She was still getting used to walking with a cast, and it took physical and mental concentration to coordinate her walking. She’d been so focused on getting there that she’d forgotten to let them know she was on the way. When she heard Heph’s howl, she paused, realized that she hadn’t called to him, and laughed, feeling silly for forgetting to do so.

Sorry, sorry! This woman is on her way! It is just taking longer with this broken leg of mine!

Eventually, when she did arrive, she regarded Barbatos with excitement and Heph with appreciation. Her sides heaved as she panted, and she took a moment to get her breathing under control before speaking.

I thank you, Heph, for greeting our friend Barbatos, she said, turning to regard the man. I greet you, Barbatos, she quieted, wondering if there was a reason for his visit.
