Summer was intrigued by her story about wanting to map the surrounding areas, but shook his head at her question. "No, I haven't," he said, not altogether dishonestly. He had traveled some, but not for adventure or to gain knowledge. His reasons for venturing away from the Spire were far more selfish.

Not until we have to at least, gods forbid."

Summer wasn't certain what the Winter would hold for them, but he could not help but feel a tremor of trepidation whenever he pondered it.
