A breeze rushes through the needles of the pine trees flanking the river, and rustles the leaves of the bushes. The branches sway under its influence, moving side to side in a slow but constant motion. As Njall moves through the foliage in his patrol, he notes the direction of this wind and how it influences his ability to smell.

There isn't anything of note he can smell from upwind, save for what might be a deer, far in the distance. But he isn't after deer. Downwind, he can't smell at all, and he continues his patrol in this direction of unknowns. Despite his large size, he moves quietly between the towering trees, keeping an eye on the other side of the river. It's usually quiet, and he hopes it'll stay that way today. This old Dilo isn't as young and swift as he once was.

Njall grumbles under his breath and continues his patrol, ever onwards along the bank of the river.

Solveig had woken up in a good mood. It was rare for her, as one plagued with almost constant anxiety and bad thoughts. She was grateful for the break, not sure how it had come about but also not one to complain either. [break][break]

Starting her day, she grabbed a bite to eat from the freshly killed prey stock on the rocky Mannavegr tribe camp. It tasted really good, and so the blue-gray dilophosaur savored it as long as she could. After this, she got up to do a little hunting trip to replace what she had taken and also to feed her tribemates. [break][break]

Solveig decided to go alone this time, not wanting this seemingly perfect day to be ruined by other saurians. Not that she disliked them, but sometimes they could be a handful for her taste. Being alone was healing and therapeutic. [break][break]

The female strolled through the forest calmly, enjoying the sights and smells that surrounded her. Even someone as dense and serious as her could enjoy nature, what was not to love? Eventually she ended up at the river border, as it rushed and raged down into the south. [break][break]

As the old dilo slinks through the terrain, sniffing every so often and taking in the smells while he scans the shores of the river with keen eyes, a slight change in the winds cause him to stop for a few moments. The subtle shifts of the breeze, its direction, power, and speed, give hints to Njall about the weather to come. Perhaps a storm is brewing far off in the mountains, and will move this way within the day; perhaps it is nothing more than a heavy draft.

As Njall considers the weather, movement on the Mannavegr side of the border catches his eye. The old one watches from the bushes, his green hide allowing him to blend in despite his size, as a female dilo makes her way to the roaring river. As she is downwind he could not detect her earlier, but she would be able to smell him.

Njall grunts to himself, not quite quietly but not loudly either, and strides into view of her, making his presence known. As the keeper of the border in these parts, it is his business to know everyone's purpose in being here, even if they merely want a drink or time to themselves. He approaches. Standing almost a head taller than most dilos, and bearing old scars, Njall makes for an imposing sight.

"You there," Njall croaks to the other dilo, though he doesn't raise his voice too much in case she's hunting. "You aren't a border-guard, at least none whom I recognize. What is the reason for your presence?"

Suddenly, Solveig smelled someone. One of her kind. A senior male. Narrowing her eyes, the female looked around and scanned her surroundings. The scent had come from upwind. It was not long before she saw him. He seemed to stand with a sense of power, which annoyed Solveig just a tad bit. He was full of scars, and was quite a tall one. [break][break]

The blue-gray dilophosaur sighed heavily when the old male essentially began to interrogate her, then and there on the spot. "That is none of your business, old man," she hissed, not with hostility with but irritation. Her tone carried a sense of dominance, if you will, which said without words that she felt she was above authority. [break][break]

Her reaction might have been different if he had been an uruz, or the fehu himself, or really anyone with much higher power and requiring a large quantity of respect. Solveig had trouble submitting to others, having been through too much to care about that sort of thing anymore. What could happen to her? Would she be forced to clean out the dens of the elderly for a month? Even if she was forced to do so, she had full rights to run off and do as she pleased. No real harm would come to her, so she talked back to whomever she pleased. [break][break]

She was not thinking about who this male dilo was, exactly. [break][break]

Njall simply blinks as the younger female responds to his inquiry with irritation. It happens every so often that he encounters those who feel contempt for the rules, and even those who would place themselves above them, on his patrols, and so the old border guard is used to the arguments that sometimes are had. However, that doesn't make it any less annoying.

"It is my business, young one," Njall says back to the female sharply, but without anger. His tone is meant to establish his authority over her, though he has a feeling she won't particularly care. Regardless, it's worth a try. He switches back to his previous tone as he continues to speak.

"It is my business to know the intentions of all who stand at the boundary of Drengrheim and Kikuyat, for this is a dangerous place. Our neighbors across the river are untrustworthy and easily provoked, so we must be careful so close to their homeland."
