We Were The Kings and Queens of Promise

Kiela wasn't even sure Boreas would be her final stopping point. Perhaps she'd grow bored here someday and search for another land to explorer, though truthfully this continent was proving quite interesting so far - unique enough that she had a hard time imagining herself being bored here. It could take her years to really know the herd she'd committed herself to following, and even more to even begin to unearth the secrets of these lands. Which was another reason she wasn't so quick the gross the ice bridge and risk not being able to cross back. Fear of injury was less of a factor for her. She wasn't the type to worry about her well-being or spend time dwelling on her own mortality - things often just happened and she'd have to deal with them accordingly, without much preparation ahead of time. Sev struck her as a similar sort of wolf in a way, especially given that she seemed drawn to a possibly deathly ice bridge, rather than disturbed by it.

She gave a little nod of acknowledgment. Kiela hoped she succeeded in her endeavors even if she herself wasn't interested in embarking on such a journey. "I do not know. It depends, how long this cold lasts." Ultimately her responsibility lay to the herd and its well-being. If something seemed likely to threaten their survival she'd redirect her attention there, but otherwise she really wasn't sure. "There is still much for me to explore here. So perhaps I will not go far. We will see," she offered, accompanied by another faint smile. "I should be heading off now. Good luck with the bridge, if you go that way. There is a saying in my family - the roads hardest to travel often have the best destinations. Something like that. Perhaps it does not translate well, I am not sure," she offered with a shrug. This was the most words she'd spoken in a long while and she was feeling emotionally drained from the brief stint of company, even if she'd enjoyed her conversation with Sev. "Good luck," she added finally with a dip of her head, giving her one last look before she made to leave, unsure where her paws would lead her next.
