You've Yee'd Your Last Haw

There had been strange creatures abound, but it seemed like many of them were returning to the Ice Bridge. At least, that's the direction in which many of them seemed to be headed, and he was curious to know if they were returning home, or simply wandering the Northlands. Ignis tracked some of them to the Ice Bridge, a small herd of small horses that were just slightly bigger than he was (Equus Lambei). They didn't look like many of the horses he'd seen before, so these ones had likely come from across the water as well. He approached a rise that overlooked the water and the bridge that sat on it, the horses milling about the mouth of the Bridge as they appeared to hesitate in taking a step further. Or perhaps they were taking a rest before the long trek back to wherever they came from? He studied them for a while, the crimson alpha lying low so as not to unnerve them so much should the wind decide to brush his scent towards them. His Cockatoo flew on ahead, getting a better and closer look than he could from his vantage point. After a few minutes, the bird returned and landed beside him. "Oi mate, one of them looks to be injured. A broken foot or some such. It may not make the journey back across if that's where they're goin' eh? If ye want one, now might be the time, mate." Ignis turned his attention back to the small herd as he searched for the one his companion mentioned and soon enough, he had spotted it. "We'll wait just a little bit longer. Let them relax and settle down, then we'll go in to surprise them." He settled in, keeping his eyes on them as he prepared to watch and wait.
