Northstar Vale I'm All Good Already

let @Winterbourne post first! @Evergreen is also welcome if he wants to "catch up" to them. forward dated to the 17th

About a month had passed since Reiko left the safety of Kaistleoki's borders. Ira had made an agreement to visit after they had finished setting up, and the timing couldn't have been more perfect. According to Speedy, she would likely be showing in another week or so...and there was still a lot to be done before then. When the Constable announced her departure, Winterbourne was quick to offer himself as an escort. Under normal circumstances, she likely would have insisted she was fine for the short distance, but there was still the matter of crossing the mountains to inform Easthollow of...a few changes. The roan woman still wasn't sure what her father would think and for once she actually worried about his opinion. Those fears had been kept to herself though, there was no need to burden Evergreen and Winterbourne with her family's traditions.

Ira glanced up from the mountainous terrain to see the vale closing in. It was a relief to her, not that she was exhausted, but between the climb and slight nausea that lingered from the morning, she was happy for the chance to rest. It wouldn't be much longer until the duo neared the borders where Ira would take a seat to rest and hopefully ease some of the spinning in her head. She was suddenly grateful for Winterbourne's presence. Dealing with these annoying pregnancy symptoms alone through all the traveling would have been a huge pain. Settled in her spot along the Vale, Ira tipped her head back to call for @Reiko.
