Bee, for her part, was highly interested in exploring the new territory that they were traversing. The pup had been born after most of the herd had moved to the Falls, and so she had never seen the forests that they meant to soon inhabit. Many rabbits? she continually asked, tongue lolling eagerly. While at first Areli had affirmed her that yes, there were several rabbits in the Edge (perhaps even more than in the Falls, given the thick woods), she had resorted to a mere head nod by the fifth time, largely tuning the wolf out as Bee rushed ahead of her through the trees, hunting for fresh trails.
Even on foot, the journey was quick—the Edge was not far from the Thistle Meadow, and the way was easy with the winter snows all but gone. Soon enough, they had arrived; the announcement signaled to Areli through her overeager companion’s sudden frustration at having a particularly juicy rabbit scent impeded by…Spikes? came the wolf’s query, sending an image of the glass to her mistress. Like icicles, but not cold, she added, giving them a cursory sniff. Wait, the girl replied, I’m right behind you.
A few more minutes and she was at the wall herself. She didn’t remember the spikes, but perhaps this was a section of the old and crumbling wall that she had never explored. Either way, they looked foreboding enough to give her pause. She stopped in front of them and peered through the gaps, searching for a passerby or a soldier on patrol. “Hello?” the girl called into the mists, doing her best not to fidget.
