TROUBLE

Although there is no sight of their targets does not mean the group will not run into signs of life in their travels. In fact, creatures that call this land home do not seem the least bit disturbed and continue about their routines. The primary signs of life will be creatures that look like fennecs, only larger and all white. They'll emerge at dawn and dusk and be skittish but nonaggressive. They hunt equally white rodents that the team will not find unless they dig or unintentionally disturb their under-ice burrows. The team may also encounter enormous cousins to Thedas' bear population -- larger even than the Great Bears of the Dales -- which, again, are white, with visible fangs and a lot more interest in trying to eat humans than the fennecs. Which might just make things a little difficult but at least a fight or two could get some blood pumping.

Yael's sense of self-preservation was there, thank you very much, she just...didn't always think it through. So here she was, several yards away from the main camp during one of the rare windless periods. She was crouched in the snow, trying to tempt a fox closer with a small scrap of food. She was holding it out and waiting patiently while the fox watched her nervously. She'd at least convinced it not to run away yet. That was something.

"Good way to get bit."

He knows better than to approach, less wary of spooking the wildlife than he is spooking Yael. She seems the sort to startle easy, from what he's seen.

So, obviously, best choice to shove out here with them on this mission. He's not gonna question it, not his place to, but seriously?

"Or a friend," she answered. The thing had been moving like it was going to come toward her, but it had frozen in place again when Bull appeared, watching him to see if he would make any aggressive moves.

And yes, Yael was easily scared. But she was perfectly capable of shooting a bow while terrified, and it wasn't like her ability to make rational decisions was anything to write home about to begin with. Other people came along for that.
