she did not know how this happened.
it happened, that was the thing but she seemed to have no control over it. perhaps it was fate. perhaps it was the gods' will. one stormy night a few days prior, a bird had crashed into the side of her den. she found the thing drenched and hurt but could not end its suffering. taking it inside, Heloise tended to it and nursed it back to health. that was days ago, however. the moment she deemed it was acceptable for the bird to fly home, it did not leave. staring at her through dark eyes, she seemed to come to the understanding it wanted to remain.
Heloise had never had a familiar before. she always assumed the beastmasters took years to train their companions, yet here was the gyrfalcon following her. it listened when she spoke. it bobbed its head in understanding. still recovering from the crash, it took to riding on her shoulder as she walked around Winterfell. she did not know what to name him, or if he had a name already. the creature did not speak in her tongue. rising to the deck of the ship, she went in search of a wolf who had companions to explain this to her. if she was in possession of this bird, she wanted to know how to care for him.
the ivory woman lifted her head and called softly into the depths. surely someone would answer her?

She had been a bit on the more scarce end of the spectrum since uncle had claimed this land. She had been very busy with the very detailed design of her den. Built beside her brother's den, with a series of different tunnels to lead to other spots. She had made a room specifically for her herb storage, one room for her and her companions, and one room for any patients that she needed to treat. There was several entrance and exits to make it suitable in case of any sort of emergency, most of the entrance/exits had been well hidden. Now this series of den rooms and tunnels had taken her quite a bit of time to construct and had kept her busy. She also now traveled as a trio, her luck had gained her a second companion a battle worn boar that was small for his species, but a very skilled fighter.

the gyrfalcon would screech softly to alert her before the bark did. Heloise's eyes sought the frame of a young woman, two familiars in two. a small boar and a opossum. though a youth, perhaps a year less than the ivory woman, the girl was more in tune than her awkward handling of the falcon so far. her head dipped in greeting as they climbed the ship, approaching her. "greetings" she was polite as usual. though she knew not the relationship between this girl and the king of Winterfell, she could detect a faint smell of Acere on her.
the gyrfalcon screeched his own form of greeting to the boar and the opossum. he could easily carry away the little marsupial, he remained at Heloise's shoulder and nary glanced at it. she had been feeding him small chunks from the prey pile, attempting to tame him slowly; she assumed it worked in other ways. he would only eat what his mistress provided him. "my name is Heloise" she would introduce herself after the familiar "pardon, but you seem very adept at caring for your companions" she marveled at how healthy they both were "I have just obtained one, you see. may I ask a few questions?"
