Finally!
This was a firm howl that reached her ears, and she responded to it automatically, quickly finishing the braid she was in the middle of, wrapping her shawl up around her and exiting the building. The horse she had picked out, a mare, stoor outside - it was easier to keep it there, than in the stables. She was baffled that this tribe had chosen to build the stables so far away from the centre of the Village, but then again many things were different in this place. She now had the chance to change things around, however moving a building as complex as the stables area would obviously never be done. Instead, she set up a preliminary roof outside, and as she found her mare there she was quite dry and not cold..
The distance to the border was formidable, but luckily the call had not come from the easternmost end of the claimed lands, but more to the north. It was easier to navigate these well-trodden paths - no doubt Dawali had made use of them as well. Was she stepping in his footsteps, now? There was hope that she would do better, and at the same time as good as Dawali had done. It was worrisome, and she handled herself with great authority as she neared the borders and spotted the lone figure standing there. Her large form dominated the scenery atop the mare's back, but she made her stop and swung down from it as soon as she was close enough, continuing the last few yards on foot. Still, she was no little girl that was standing there, and she made use of her seven feet height to signal her dominance of the area. Still, she was not unpleasant. "Unalihelitseti, I am Ulilohi, Councilwoman. What do you seek?". Her common speech was accented by her AniWayan upbringing as she delivered them with her deep, rolling voice, smiling. The question was perhaps rude to some, but it was a mere translation of a polite phrase in AniWayan, and she would not be able to see it otherwise.
