Duskfire Glacier Ain't nothin but a goodbye town

Could this be set before Kaskara visits? :D

There was still no sign of Tuwawi. Bazi stayed close to the den Maera shared with her father, but made no assumption that she was welcome to sleep there (and it was too awkward to ask). Her leg still hurt, but didn't prevent her from walking about, which she did at every available opportunity. Every day her body grew stronger, her fur thicker, and her paws steadier.

That day, she dared to set foot on the glacier itself and had to quell the urge to run hell for leather along the blue-white road until she reached the edge of the world. She didn't. It would have snapped her leg, for one, and she wasn't sure the world had an edge. Just water. Endless, black ocean.

Someone else was on the ice, thinking similar thoughts. For once, Bazi wasn't the one that stood out like a sore thumb (although she was still a little yellow, and far from invisible). Steadying her nerves, the former Swiftcurrent Alpha drew breath and stepped out from behind a soiled outcropping that jutted out of the glacier like an ailing tooth.

"..hi," she called to the ponderous Danica, still a little hoarse and now wondering if starting a conversation was such a good idea - there was no room to dance around the enormous elephant that pushed against the walls and ceiling.
