Duskfire Glacier we counted every black car

Mirabelle had not been actively seeking Aleks out; it was the wilds around the glacier that had interested her.  She had found a gaggle of wild chickens and somehow earned their trust through a careful kulning song and her gentle demeanor, and carried back with her an egg.  She intended on refrigerating it in the glacier (carrying them back one by one would be... inconvenient, but she figured they would be nice treats for the puppies when they arrived).
