Her orange eyes absently roved the vista, zeroing in on a figure moving along the borders. From here, it was hard to tell if it was @Cinder or @Eljay.

Abruptly, she remembered Phox's suggestion to consider the latter. He did check a lot of boxes, practically speaking, as an insidious voice in her head suddenly decided to insist. She looked away swiftly and didn't mention her glimpse to her brother.
