Qeya River crow's cry

lestan drank in the details of the glacier. that it too held fire of a kind intrigued him very deeply.
he wanted to ask her the glacier's name, but her next pronouncement brought lestan's attention sharply around. he had not forgotten what kigipigak said: that he must impress sakhmet, for she had final say.
it seemed he had captured her good humour at least but now she was offering a task. "i would immediately say yes and leave as soon as you saw fit, issumatar." lestan's face was warm but he meant it seriously.
