In the mists from the hot springs the whistling seemed to come from several places at once, bounced around and obscuring its true direction. Tal shook his head, not quite sure he was hearing another person at first. Not until he heard the snort of laughter did he stop talking to his companion, but the sound brought him to an immediate halt, looking around warily for the source. Boreal, conversely, continued forward, undeterred. A curious rumble arose from her deep chest as she sniffed the air and headed towards the Ancient at a relaxed amble.
Tal followed her progress with his eyes, lifting a pair of Goggles from his neck to peer through the smoked lenses with a frown. He caught sight of the woman just before she stepped forward thanks to the magic in the goggles, and he looked her over cautiously, relaxing only a little when he didn't see an obvious weapon. She was short, but so were a lot of the women he knew who could kick his ass, and the ram's horns that curled out from her hair were an extra reason not to take her lightly.
"Uh... not really. Just tryin' t'find the, um..." He trailed off, nose wrinkling up in discomfort. "Th'blood bath? Which apparently is a thing now?" It hadn't been the last time he'd visited Frey's Breath, but that had been several seasons back by now, when the Ancients and Dygra were still newly awakened and just starting to spread out from the Climb. "Have y'seen anythin' like that?" Because hail, if anyone would know about something like that, it would probably be an Ancient!
