Sawtooth Spire bleed through spaces

The two feigned lack of interest so hard that one might wonder why they were even conversing. Saturnine grasped desperately for ways to keep his attention and determined that discussing her quest was the only option available aside from throwing herself at him — and that would sort of ruin the image she was trying to create.

"I am told the cave sees the morning sun," she told him, gesturing toward the taiga. "And that you can stand at its mouth and look across at another great spire."

At this point, she wasn't expecting the scarred explorer to be of any use to her quest — but for Saturnine, personally, he just might be.

"I have further instruction — but you'll understand if I keep the specifics to myself," she told him, her tone still nonchalant. "I will set off again once I've had something to eat."

Could she somehow manipulate him into bringing her food? She hadn't the energy to hunt something down herself, right then.
