It had been some time since the little dame had made an appearance in Ashen territory. There were characters of great interest living within the land and she was mighty curious as to their well being. She had kept herself scarce so that things might mature naturally. Hopefully they had. Things would be quite a bit more difficult if they hadn't.

Padding into the rocky area that made up the Ashen Empire's temporary base of operations, green and gold eyes scanned for living beings. Things seemed... quiet. "Hmm..." A small sound of slight annoyance was released before Iolaire continued on. There was something irritable within her today. She felt dry inside. Emotion was lacking. Perhaps that was her minds defense mechanism in case she ran into Deathbelle. Io still wasn't sure how she would react to seeing the woman now that they weren't lovers. She was sure how she would act outwardly, but inside...

There was also Bourbon to check on. She had a feeling that she'd planted some seed in the dogs mind during their encounter in the creek. Their long walk home had also been filled with talk. By the time they returned, he had seemed a little different. More confident, in a way. She honestly had a soft spot for the collie and wished him nothing but the best. She definitely didn't wish him a live of slavery and servitude.

Not finding anyone, Iolaire pulled up a patch of rock and sat. She would wait for a short time and, if no one showed their face, she would leave. Pity to have wasted a walk though.
