"If not, I imagine that it will be a long wait until we see one again, with all of this snow..." An accurate assumption, or so it seemed as they stepped into the Glade and it appeared in all of its frozen majesty before them. Distracted by the snow banks and the delicate icicles that had formed over the smaller branches of trees, Isla jumped as well at the sight of the bird. Her heart hammered in her chest (and her hand had flown to it in her surprise), the healer turning to watch it trill overhead. Feeling rather foolish, she laughed to the bard and arched an eyebrow at his question.
Dipping into a perfect curtsey, Isla stepped carefully towards him, mindful of the packed snow beneath her feet. "This lady used to be a duchess, believe it or not," she said cheerfully, "and she does indeed dance. Shall we?"
Holding out her hand, Isla would offer to let Jigano lead, though before they could really get started in their dance a flicker of light caught her eye from the outskirts of the Glade. Isla turned her head and her hand dropped a little, the medic's eyebrows raising. "That looks... is that a stag, Jigano?"
It looked like it might be, but its antlers were suffused with a warm and golden glow. It nosed at the sparse grass around the trees, but at the sound of Isla's voice it had raised its head sharply, docile gaze pinned on them both.
