"Oh, the Keeper never let me do anything either!" Ellana says, glad to be talking to someone who knows what it feels like. "I was made hearthkeeper since she told me I would never be a Keeper of the clan someday, and the most I could do outside the camp was gather firewood. The hunters could go out and trade, explore, all kinds of things. But I was stuck. Safe, I suppose, but stuck." But that's all in the past now. Both she and Fern are out here exploring without anyone or anything holding them back.

Her attention is drawn to her companion and her amazed expression before she looks out before them and grins. "Well, we have to get a closer look. Let's use a bit of caution, okay? If it's elven, sometimes there are traps to deter people from coming around."
