It was easy for Kiela to find herself distracted by exploring a land that was new to her, fully engrossed in learning its peculiarities. For a long while she imagined what could've happened to encase these trees in ice like this. Seemingly this had once been a body of water, long since frozen over, but what natural phenomena had caused this? Something that had caused the water levels to rise dramatically and the temperatures to freeze not long after, judging by the state of the trees, still visibly green under the ice as if they truly had been frozen in time. She was unsure what exactly would have caused it though. The surrounding lands were scattered with mountains, breaking up the frozen tundra, so maybe run-off snowmelt from the mountains made sense if the lands had experienced a sudden rise in temperatures and then a flash freeze. Maybe….

Kiela mulled over the possibilities as she wandered, occasionally pausing to swipe a large paw over the ice, attempting to see below. It was mostly more of the same, a vast stretch of ice below and towering trees that she stood high above. Her attention had been captured by the strange terrain, she wasn't entirely oblivious of someone else nearby, though she realized much sooner than she would've liked. Slowly she tilted her head to search for the nearby stranger, finding him difficult to spot against the backdrop of snow and ice.

She returned the nod with one of her own, polite but not overly so, happy to keep a safe distance even as she decided to speak to him.  "Strange place, isn't it?" Came the best greeting she could think of, after a long pause.
