“Depends on the season — they’re more marked than they seem to be up here. Spring and fall are warm but mild. Winter is cold but also fairly mild. Summer is very, very hot but was still my favorite season.”

"That sounds pleasant! Is it mostly desert down there or are there some forests?"

“A bit of both! My township was pretty forested. Lots of farm land.”

Ky grinned and nodded. “I was an expert climber.”

Ky thought for a moment. “Honestly? No idea. I was tiny when I left home; no concept of how big things actually are once you yourself are over five feet tall. But it felt very high.”

"Rocks are so rude, are you kidding?" He pursed his lips. "A boulder once told me my trousers didn't match my top."

Ky smiled a little and allowed a short lull in the conversation, remembering her tree climbing days. They felt like a lifetime ago. They were a lifetime ago. “…it was fun to harvest the fruit from them. My friends and I would take turns climbing through the branches and pitching the fruit down to whichever of us was standing on the ground. It was good fun.”

“There’s one that only grows in Austraka as far as I’m aware called a Diti. It’s sort of like a mix between a plum and an apple. It was my favorite.”

Generally speaking, a howling wilderness does not howl: it is the imagination of the traveler that does the howling.
