Oh dear, Laeta thought to herself, brow furrowing as she and Mel found themselves in a..stormy predicament. She and her badger companion sought to venture out of the castle grounds, the older woman having found a regrown strength from spring's arrival. At least, in Boreas anyways. She had sworn to never cross into the larger continent from whence she came - in fact, she had scarcely even glanced at the bifrost since arriving to the Hallows so many seasons ago. Too many dark memories, too many painful nights and hungry days and times she thought she'd die in her tracks. But after her trial with paralysis during the Long Night, a new wave of courage overcame her, a new sense of boldness. If Lae had survived that ordeal, surely she could survive a little trip into Boreas. Just for a day. The thin woman had trotted through the sandy banks into the Fjord itself, but the journey there was soon overwhelmed by terrifying dark clouds, roaring thunder, and a torrent of rain. Mel shook off his wet pelt, huffing and puffing as he tried to catch up with his friend. "L-Laeta! The storm looks quite dangerous! P-Perhaps we should take shelter..or turn back.. The badger mused timidly, panic crossing his features as he clutched his monocle, bracing against a heavy gust of wind.

Laeta looked back behind her, frowning. The storm was so thick it obscured their only route home, the rain sloshing wildly and lightening cracking the skies. Too dangerous to turn back now - shelter was their only option. Glancing around, her ruby eyes squinted through the downpour to see a small alcove in the rocky cliffs of the fjord. Glancing down at Mel, Laeta said, "I see a place we can hide in. Come on." Ignoring the angry ache of her arthritic wrists, Laeta pushed onwards, Mel pressed to her side as they made their way into the alcove. A perfect spot for two. Though, someone nearby caught her attention as well, and as they quickly trotted into the alcove's safe haven, the woman couldn't help but watch a figure make their way through the storm as well.
