Pod has been so busy this summer, traveling different places to bring the animals back to places finally healed from the rot, then trying to get in plenty of herb gathering and visiting the major shrines of the White Hart in between.

Today, she’s just getting on the road back north towards Treun with her pack filled to bursting with herbs, some rare, some not, and one very special acorn from an Ivory Oak. That she will take back to Cothromach soon, to plant in the beginnings of a shrine to the Hart, but first she wants to visit her ferret friends in Treun and stop in to make sure her other friends there are well. And she could just get there in an instant, but then she might miss a chance to find more important plants. So she walks.

And a chance look back down the road shows her someone coming her way, and a little company for herself and Kiga would be welcome, so Pod slows her pace to let the figure catch up, only to beam when she sees who it is.

“Faolan! It’s been some time. Well met!”
