Her first few days in the Great Tribe dawned with a faint haze in the sky, only adding to the mystery of the place. She had seen it only in their arrival, and felt disorientated enough being in a strange place, not to mention having had no plan to come here until the minutes before they'd set off. Indeed, she'd never even met an AniWayan before. The dark-furred girl had re-hung herself with adornments and swathed the black velvet scarf back at her hips in the same way it had been before. She had brought nothing else with her, after all. It was early, the short days meaning the sun was still low in the sky and the day fairly colourless, but she found her surroundings fascinating and colourful enough even in the dim light, moving through the wood and earth huts of the village and noting the fire burning near one of the largest buildings. The constructions were interesting, not being human remnants, it looked as though these wolves had crafted their homes themselves. Caprica yearned to find out more about their techniques.

It was a beautiful but not large village, and soon she found herself on the outskirts, looking out onto what seemed to be tilled and tended fields and some greener land that looked like the pastures where the horses lived. She headed that way, imagining she would come to the stables and wondering if Frodo was already there. In time Caprica came to the building that housed the horses, but hesitated on the approach to the entrance, fearing entering such a place as an unaccompanied stranger. However she was clearly no horse thief, approaching so boldly in broad daylight with her chains and pendants clinking, so she assumed that short of surprising somebody, it would be acceptable to enter. She craned her head in first, one hand lingering on the frame of the door as she peered from side to side to catch her bearings and inspect for the presence of residents.
