"Well for the most part, yes. But even further south than that, there are some plains, and a mountain range. My home was in those mountains, well, atop them. It was snowy all year round." She smiled down at the girl. "You'll learn. When I first left my home, I didn't know anything about what anything else was like either. You're smart Signy, I'm sure you'll adapt quickly."
"Perhaps I should ask Rhocanth about this Gherlon at some point then. And what about you? Do you have any favorite stories or tales from home?" She tilted her head back slightly, her eyes moving through the sky, spying the sun's place overhead to measure the time. The forest was growing closer in the distance, but the mood was easy. There'd been no trouble on the road, which was welcome, and conversation flowed easily around them.
