Maude had never seen a river this big before, her knowledge limited to the small creeks that occasionally leapt to life in the Edge from heavy rain, or hidden springs.
Sliding across the slick, turkey-trampled snow and mud to a stop at the sight of the great, frozen ribbon, she mouths a silent “whoa,” in awe of its tremendousness. Though it isn’t currently thriving with motion, encased beneath a thick layer of ice, she can imagine it as it should be during warmer seasons. Babbling, rippling, with silvery fish flitting beneath, the allure of a living river is almost lost on the serene, silent grace of the real one before her. Maude is not quite sure why she’s never been told of a winter river, now that she’s seen one.
Sure, it isn’t singing, but, wow, is it pretty!
She looks over at her father with a big smile, all her happiness to be out and about, chasing foxes with him, as evident as her youth. Streams of hot breath filter from her dainty muzzle, her delicate ears flitting to catch the qualm of the fire foxes, and, when she’s asked by her daddy to follow Flint, she happily follows along.
The turkeys don’t seem to like being divided up or having been stopped, so she is quite excited to get to chase them back into the gaggle again when she sees an opportunity. However, they are soon at their destination, and, sure enough, the river is much less broad here than it was where they came up at first.
What her father suggests, however, makes her frown ever so slightly, looking about to see no one else clinging to their daddy for safety. Stubbornly refusing to climb up onto his offered back (though her heart does make the slightest tremble of fear for what should happen if the ice breaks, now), Maude grasps a good chunk of Tilney’s russet banner in her mouth, bravely nodding when she is sure her grip is secure.
[ Summary: Maude holds onto Tilney’s tail to cross the frozen river after they FIND Flint’s path. ]

Hold onto this lullaby, even when the music's gone.
