Cold, cold, cold

This stranger was certainly built like no one she'd ever met before, smaller than her - but more noticeably, she was built entirely different from her, with a slender body and long legs. Kiela thought that she didn't seem the type to be accustomed to the north, but that didn't mean much. Some individuals thrived on challenges and pushing their comfort level, and perhaps Jynn subscribed to a similar mindset. She wasn't thinking too much about her abilities when Jynn shifted in the corner of her vision, slipping down the edge of one of the smaller glaciers. "You are okay?" Kiela called out softly after a moment, watching Jynn regain her composure and begin her ascent back to the path they'd been following.
Though the terrain looked simple, this journey was actually treacherous one. The surface of the ice, though dusted over in spots, was surprisingly slick in others. Some peaks were higher than they appeared, an illusion thanks to the vast stretch of ice and little else that stretched for what felt like miles in every direction. The midday sun reflecting sharply off the exposed sections of ice briefly caught her eye and blinded her, though she squinted against the light and twisted around to watch Jynn's ascent. "Auster? Where is that?" Kiela had gone further south a few times but largely she had remained in the north, and she'd definitely never heard of an Auster than she could recall.
