How Many Days Have Passed Like This? [Razi]

The yearling didn't show any signs of recognition, shaking her head and asking who the woman in question was. Razi shrugged noncommittally before replying, "A rose-colored woman with a starry, swirling pelt not unlike your own. I've met her a couple times, she belonged to a pack down here once. She also mentioned her surname as Aeris, seemed like the odds would be pretty low that you'd look the same and have the same name without being related." Razi was more mildly curious about the connection than truly invested in whether or not this youngster knew or ever met the other celestial wolf. Mostly she just wanted to be proud of herself for remembering Iskra's surname and making the connection despite the hits her memory seemed to be taking lately. Not that this would be a terribly impressive success on her part...

"Hmm..." she paused to think a moment, trailing after the girl as she scaled the roots of one behemoth tree. Auster was smaller than Boreas, she could prooobably travel across a few territories. The garden was definitely more realistic than the castle anyhow. Oh, why not challenge herself a little? They could try and pick the fastest route there, might be an amusing way to kill time. "Why not? It's north of here, we can head that way." Altering her course slightly, Razi hopped up on the downed tree, walked a full pace, then descended the other side. These trees really were massive.

For a beat she had to consider how to answer the question. How to explain a castle? "Have you ever seen any of the old, crumbling structures around these lands? One's that don't look terribly natural? Some are small, others are like small mountains. A castle is like them, it's a great structure usually made of stone. Supposedly they were built by creatures that lived long before us and used as their dens. Castles have many more rooms than most other such places, and are quite tall. Some have walls around them, too. They're really quite interesting." As she spoke she continued meandering in the vague direction of north. She'd reassess her directions once she was out from under the canopy of the branches, though she was pretty sure she'd seen some moss growing on the trees and supposedly(Razi rarely took such little sayings as gospel very easily) it only grew on the north sides of trees. You know, except in places where it literally covered the entire tree. Then you needed a new tactic for navigating or you might be in trouble.

It was only by chance that she glanced up into one of the trees and spotted something of interest. Stopping, she tilted her head back to gaze up at the thing. It was... some sort of wooden platform nestled in the branches of one of the oaks. rotting pieces of wood were affixed to the trunk leading up to it somehow, though the lowest was a few body lengths above her own head.
