"Yes." she murmured simply "Just keep straight ahead, I have a fair idea where it lies."
At some point she would have to check a map but for now she was quietly confident that they were heading in the right direction. The world seemed to be running past them, accelerating past with the sound of the wind and with each fast pace they left a bit of it behind. The feeling of moving forward was fulfilling in many ways. Adventure lay ahead and a chance to break with monotony and thoughts of just what manner of beast it could be filled her with a sense of healthy apprehension coupled with irrepressible excitement.

Ri nodded her "just let me know when to stop okay" she went about her way as she continued toward the path a head of them not once slowing she loved the fell of the wind in her fur it made her fell at home with herself.

Her answer was a non-committal sound that seemed to suggest it was all at her leisure. Nevertheless she directed her when needed sometimes a short word and in others something akin to a conversation that said all and nothing at all, as if merely speaking out loud. With the sound of her voice it wasn't hard to form that impression.
It was heading to late afternoon when they finally arrived and she announced as much even if it was visibly obvious. Dismounting she took a look around pushing back windswept strands of hair as she took a look around. There didn't seem to be much of a slope in this area but looking high above the peaks were visible in the distance as they disappeared into the sky above. The snow was soft here little spattered sprinkles intermingled with the vegetation suggesting this was the mildest it could be. She took a few exploratory steps as she looked round expecting to see the person they were to meet here already but finding no one yet she turned to Ri having momentarily forgotten her. Now she simply stood and watched her with that same sense of detached curiosity she seemed to have perfected so well.
Pointing to the top she asked simply "We will be heading up there, think you can manage it?"

She held out the material handing it over simply somewhat surprised that she still did and that she still held fast to it. There was another impatient look around as she did actions disjointed and preoccupied now that Ri was back to normal. This person would do well to turn up soon she didn't like to wait too long even the patient had times of limit.
"Good." she said simply in reply flashing a small thin smile that came off as merely functional. It was good, for her own sake at least. She might be underhanded but she wanted a good challenge in the midst of it all.

Ri smiled and gently took her shirt from Heaven Let her fingers brush the girls hand before taking the shirt and pulling it on but leaving it open instead of buttoning it back up moving closer to Heaven she titled her head a little smiled.
Reaching for Heaven's hand she gently ran her fingers over liking how the skin was soft to the touch and very warm against her slight cold hands from the snow. Bringing it to her lip she kissed it softly her fangs gently scrapping before she kissed it once more softly.

She was aware of her moving closer, it was impossible to ignore the way she tended to brush along her consciousness in ways that managed to set her into an acute awareness. Never was this more true than when she touched her and as she did now there was a tingling that ran up her arm even at her cold hands. At the touch of her lips she felt a definite miss of a heartbeat and there was no denying it. This fact worried her and she pulled her hand away quickly managing to restrain her step backwards. Natural defiance kept her there even though all she really wanted to do was move. She couldn’t however do it unless it was affected with an air of neutrality.

Ri smiled "sorry did i hurt you did my fangs hurt you" she brought her own hand to her mouth biting down hard blood dripped into the snow "now..now where even" she pulled her hand away two deep gashes in her hand.

“What manner of fool are you?!” she cried voice cutting and stretched at a whispered breath, filled with an anger she couldn’t quite understand as she snatched back the girl’s hand unmindful of the blood that stained her own as she did. Yanking her closer completely forgetting her nervous disposition at any form of closeness to Ri ‘the girl’ her eyes furious as they held hers; even as the soft light encased them both momentarily. “Never harm yourself unnecessarily on my-” running into a pause as if with dawning realisation she dropped the now healed hand with an annoyed expulsion of air brows drawn.
“Just refrain from maiming yourself...at least till this is over.” She muttered “afterwards you may do whatever you like to yourself.” Chances were she wouldn’t be around long enough to have it be her concern. Holding up her hand silently with that same annoyed expression graced with a raised brow she seemed to say see, I’m just fine. Fine except for the fact that her hands were still stained and she looked round presently for some snow to wipe it clean.

Ri blushed "err...my bad" looking down she fiddled wit her tail will twirling her foot in the snow like a child who had been caught with her hand in the cookie jar.

"Yes," she replied testily "It 'is' your bad." she said as she brushed some snow over her hands missing the endearing picture Ri made at that point. Hearing such an unusual phrase in her speech said so awkwardly as it sat on her tongue like a mispronounced word.
She stilled suddenly aware of a presence turning just as a cloaked dwarf appeared. He looked at best tired, as if he'd been walking a distance and he huffed and puffed as he finally reached them his stout figure making his legs seem even smaller than they were. It was obvious the man hadn't missed a meal in his life. Heaven hadn't known what she'd been expecting but she'd rather thought it would be someone more...impressive. His eyes were almost hidden by his bushy brows as they peered first at Ri and then her. "You’ll both be here for the sword eh? It's the only reason people come to these parts to see ol’ Mòtsognir." he said with a smile that was strangely like a leer too. Was he...tipsy? Or at the very least he had been drinking. Was that why he'd been late?! She pointedly said nothing in reply choosing to glare her impatience instead.
"Not one for chit chat are you." he muttered reaching into his cloak to pull out a map choosing the safest option and handing it to Ri instead tense under the smouldering glare. "Here, you’ll need this map, it isn't conclusive after a point you will be on your own, this only shows you how to get to the caverns once inside you are left with instinct only. You'll need this as well," He handed her a small vial, it's a very potent antidote, a drop is all it takes. You will know when you need it. Make sure to enter from the southern entrance. Remember that. Everything else will be down to you." his quick explanation over he retreated quickly. Having done this so many times he didn't particularly feel like going into detailed explanations anymore. It didn't matter who came, he'd seen all kinds come and go, the result was the same. They never came back. There was almost no point anymore.
"Good luck." he said simply in parting, he had more interesting things to do, like getting back to his feast .

Ri took the map and the small vile of potion and placed them safely on her person while turning to Heaven "So a dwarf huh, you think the old hag sent him on purpose" she raised an eyebrow in question.

Her watchfullness over his departing form was interupted by the curious question and she looked at Ri thrown for a minute. "Hm?" she said without thought and then "Oh, she always has a purpose to everything. Whether she sent him for a reason I do not know." Turning towards her she moved closer "Do you know something?" she questioned her whole presence unconciously intimidating, demanding, as she wondered if there was something she was unaware of.

She looked at her completely unaware that she was the cause of her fall thinking instead she'd tripped up backwards. "Are you having trouble with your feet?" she queried softly and then as if dismissing it quickly she offered her hand in assistance without thinking "Well in any case we will find out at the end, lets get moving, come."
Her help over she withdrew quickly as she looked upwards towards the mountain instead. "What direction now." she asked assuming the map would tell them how to get to the southern entrance. How much trekking up the mountain would this take she wondered only somewhat concerned. She was confident of her ability to do it. What she wasn't sure of was if the distance could be covered before nightfall from down here it towered up into the skies above. Still they had time yet and she looked forward to it.
