The skyport was hardly a bustling hub of trade, not yet, but it was busy enough that it took Noe a moment or two to disembark from her skyship and hop down onto the sand. She wore a wide-brimmed straw hat and light clothing, for even in the depths of Deepfrost, the desert was still warm enough to avoid the many layers she might have needed elsewhere. The sun was bright against the pale, shifting sands, gleaming on the ivory bone of the skeletons lurking nearby.
Noe didn't really have a particular destination in mind for today - just a bone-deep desire to understand this land that she'd tied herself to, in order to make herself useful. She figured she'd start by studying the Boneyard - an area that had stood the test of time even in the ever-shifting sand of the desert. That was enough to have her interested in how and why that was the case. Was it just because the bones were heavy, or were they seated in a special way to keep them in place? Was their placement accidental or intentional? How could she use that information when designing buildings and whatnot for Colt?
She wandered a bit farther, and a bit farther, taking a break every now and again to sip at the canteen of fresh water that seemed to have taken up a permanent residence on her belt. After a while, she spotted a blotch of color on the horizon - a stark contrast to the pale sands and white bones. As she grew closer, she recognized the shape of a horse and rider; growing closer still, she found the rider was a girl not much younger than her. What was she doing out here all alone, save for her horse?
"Hi," Noe called when she was in shouting range, waving a friendly hand towards the girl. "You okay out here?"
