cuz it's hot then it's cold

His movements brought her good eye to him for the briefest of moments before turning back to her drawing and writings. She was thinking about this as hard as she could. Having no voice meant one was trapped in their own head, and thinking was the only way that she had found she did not lose herself completely.

Even as he curled around her and read over her shoulder she did not stop. Her brain was set on the season and how it was affecting everything. From the animals moving across the land bridge to the sweltering heat of the north, something was different. Something that just was not adding up. "You've noticed the seasons..." she turned her eye to him and gave him a curt nod, confirming his observations.

To have such extreme summers and winters paired with the tremors, was astronomically unlikely. These lands would have more deserts than she had seen, less water. She marked down the quakes by drawing a piece of earth splitting then.

She knew about the plates of the world and the shifting they did that caused tremors. They would have to be on a fault line. A look to the east and she then drew a mountain with smoke rolling from it in the far distance. A volcano. Was it active? Would it erupt?

She glanced up at Ultyr and turned the page to grab his attention before quickly jotting down a thought. One word large across the top of the page. Volcano. Her writing wasn't the prettiest but she had already figured he had learned to read her writing from the way he had seemed to read over her shoulder a moment ago.

Her eye looked up to him set with a small worry. If it were to erupt then the lands would be clouded with ash, scents wouldn't be able to be picked up after that either. The smog would slowly choke life out of the place.
