Her voice was a mature alto, hardly lilting or flexible, but confident and with near-perfect pitch. Her parrot Percy trilled along with her with rather less musical precision, occasionally interjecting with his own version of the lyrics. When they passed the gallows tree and diverted into less travelled territory, she became quieter, and Percy began to fly alongside and above the party, soaring in wide, lazy circles as he surveyed the land around them.<br/><br/>She stood on top of the hill as the sun went down, placing her hand on some of the stones. "Interesting rock formations up here," she mused. "They don't match the surrounding stone very closely. Perhaps the remnants of erratic boulders deposited by a passing glacier. A lovely view from up here, anyway. But... I suppose we haven't made as good time as our employers suggested we would. I don't fancy traveling in the dark, especially with a cart. There is supposed to be a dirt track at the base of this hill, leading to a cave, but honestly I can't see anything of the sort from up here. Should we stop for the night?"<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">3 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=124751) for Perception for Morena.<br/>15 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=124752) for Perception for Percy.<br/></div></div>
