Aimee nodded in agreement. “It would make me easier to identify, but that can be a bad thing too. Depending on the color, I might stick out like a sore thumb. That'd be bad for hunting,” she informed kindly, almost in joking. She could imagine her camouflage being broken by a random out-of-the-ordinary patch of fur. Anything with half a brain would go running, birds would spot her easier too. 

Elann’s compliment was nice, and Aimee showed her appreciation with a small smile. She didn't blush in embarrassment because she knew she was an elegant creature, Elann’s compliment had not been the first.

“Thank you,” she uttered in Fratava before slipping back in Common. “You can be elegant as well.”

Elann brought up the mountains, asking if they were impassable. Aimee nodded, taking a breath to reveal the secret. 

“For the most part, it is. It is steep and dangerous to climb, but this road cuts through  a narrow way that lets us get to the city. There aren't any gates like Syliras; the mountains are the gates and walls.” She smiled over to Elann, thinking it was rather neat the mountains acted as a natural defense.

“After we get to the mountains and to the passageway we'll be home free, only half a day’s travel,” she said. “Before we get to the passageway though, we'll pass an outpost. It's a hunting outpost, something small for the hunters who come out of the city to bring in the meat that we don't get from fishing and livestock.” She chuckled aloud. “Speaking of fish, I hope you like it. We'll be eating a lot of it.”

A pause came over the Kelvic. “It must be rather terrible to take another long trip when you were just on a boat last year, yeah?”
