she's never been this far north, and she's aptly aware that she'd told Rowan and her mother that she'd only been going on a hunting mission. despite her love for them, it's been a while since she's been able to settle for long, and she's confident they know this, too, and won't worry.

she stumbles across the female rather suddenly, pausing a short distance away. "what's on your face?" slips from her muzzle before she can stop it; amidst the monochrome of the land all around them, the blues and purples smeared across her muzzle grab the girl's attention.
