She carried along herbs dutifully, the taste bittersweet on her tongue. It had not yet dawned upon her that horrible sights may await them. She had been more concerned with her mother's absence, and the normally recalcitrant Lilitu nodded at Ibis's command (well, unable to speak because of the mouthful, but still). 

All that mattered to her was that they were together. Lilitu would have died of anticipation being left at home, wondering how Mama was faring on the road.

They stopped in a forest, and she dropped her bundle with a grateful sigh, working her tired jaw and dipping into a deep stretch—and missing out on the howl, but no matter. Loud as she was in normal speech, she wasn't sure how well her voice carried in such a serious situation. She met Bridget's gaze as the young woman spoke. 

To the mountain? she asked, addressing both adults. Her stomach twisted; the valley had not left her with the best impression of mountains.
