The empty reaches of the north was the kind of terrain she, too, preferred; the solitude brought her clarity, the kind she worried she might never find after Ignatius had left her side. But with that clarity, more questions began to crop up, mainly regarding Song and how he fit into her future. Finding a way to convince Acere that they were a necessary benefit to Winterfell was seeming more and more necessary; she had yet to encounter any other groups in the north, and the more she thought about heading further away from these lands, the more she wanted to stay.

Hearing Ignatius respond to her vaguely frantic call brought her great relief. He, too, was alive and well. Perhaps their decision to stay in the north had been their saving grace. How could either of them know just what could've happened to them if they'd started making their way south in the midst of.. whatever was happening? She wasn't a particularly superstitious woman, but she couldn't help but feel unsettled by the way the ash hung threateningly overhead in the distance, slowly moving to obscure most of the sky.

When he finally approached, she returned the grin as easily as she could. Showing emotion wasn't really something she did often, but it was hard to ignore the relief that seemed to emanate from her. If anything had happened to him, she'd truly be alone - and it wasn't that she feared being alone. No, she knew she could survive just fine on her own, but that didn't mean that was what she wanted.

"Song," she responded quickly, leaning forward just enough to touch her nose lightly into his. A sign that she was relieved to see him, and that his presence wasn't taken for granted by her. Slowly she pulled away, a faint smile remaining there on her lips. "I'm safe - but I will admit, tired," Kirsi admitted. She could feel the ache in her limbs beginning to grow stronger now that she felt as though she could relax, even if just for a moment, like a heavy weight dragging her down. "I agree, though. Perhaps it's time," she cast her gaze to the north, where Winterfell resided. Speaking with Heloise had only confirmed her suspicions that they were overloaded with wolves, but perhaps time had changed things.. and if not, perhaps they could prove that they were more valuable to Winterfell than other wolves could be.
