Gyrfalcon's Keep Would you just come home

The ruse was surely up, but Wylla was stubborn enough to disregard that and try to keep it going as long as possible.

When they reached the snowier lowlands, on the edge of a forest that bordered the coast, where the snow was pure and clean, Wylla turned to her companion and said, "so, uh, is there a certain way to do it? I want to practice it so I can show my friend." Yes, that was exactly it.
