Rhae almost hadn’t noticed the man’s approach, eyes glancing over as his voice pierced the air asking if she was okay. She nodded, explaining her plight. “I was going to try and enter the gorge, but between the terrain and the current weather, I fear it is not possible.” She very much would have enjoyed it, exploration a huge part of her current life. She didn’t notice other scents on his coat, suggesting that he was a loner like her, and it allowed her to relax a little bit. She was still on edge after learning there were slave traders about.

“I’m Rhaegara. What’s your name?” It was hardly the most proper introduction, but it was sweet and to the point, wondering if perhaps her trip to the gorge had been worth it after all in the form of meeting someone new. Carlys settled onto her shoulder, inquisitive eyes also finding the man’s features. “And I am Carlys.” The bird introduced herself as well.
