Verdant Basin and burbled as it came!

She set off a whole day later than originally planned, though Sugar knew it didn't matter much in the grand scheme of things. It was snowing gently when her feet carried her away from the copse and there was a thick blanket by the time she approached the basin. Despite everyone telling her it wasn't far, it still took her by surprise to see the landmark so soon. It wasn't even midday yet. According to her directions, she would reach the Frosthawks' front door no later than this evening.

Of course, she wasn't traveling by her lonesome, though Sugar hadn't been very talkative during their travels thus far. Her stomach was still a little uneasy from her nerves, though excitement was quickly subsuming her anxiety. Seeing that the distance really wasn't so great really helped to calm her and that made room for hunger, which gnawed at her belly with sudden ferocity.

"Let's take a break," she suggested to @Bronco, slowing and glancing at the frozen water off to their left. "Maybe we can find something to eat..." Sugar's eyes tracked over the snowy landscape, her lips pursing thoughtfully.
