ooc: gonna go ahead and assume that they walked a ways.
Somewhere warmer? Xeris thought for a moment about where in the territory they could go to find a more comfortable temperature. Keeping the layout of the packlands in mind, she turned to the southeast, in the direction of one of her favorite places in Phoenix Valley, the Quartz Shoreline. The sand usually intensified the sun's heat, and even in the cold of winter it could sometimes be a little bit warmer on the beach. "This way."
The crisp ocean breeze greeted Xeris' nose with a scent of salt and the sound of the rolling waves began to reach her ears as the two approached the shoreline. She looked out over the water for a moment, scanning the horizon with golden eyes, before she turned to Kami once more. "They call this the Quartz Shoreline. In the summer it's always nice to spend time here." Off in the distance, the Trinity Islands were visible along the horizon, but they were too far away to spot the mansion on Sanctuary Island. Xeris would see what Kami wanted to do next before deciding where else they should go.
