"The mingled scents of ice and old blood get stronger yet as she actually approaches the trunk of the tree, and interestingly, something begins to tickle at her kitsune sense for magic, too.
Almost expecting an ill-appreciated prank from another of her kind, she rapidly darts around the wide bend of the Great Tree to face the perpetrator on its other side.
There is most definitely one of her kin, here, but they are in no condition to cause any mischief, ill-appreciated or otherwise; huddled between two above-ground roots is a trembling, nearly unconscious kit. Its dark bluish fur is tinted almost purple due to the light of the rapidly setting sun and all the pink of the yumemiru tree, nearby, and it is coated in a thin layer of frost from nose to rump— either as a last-ditch effort of self-defense from enemies, or perhaps due to losing control over the seemingly brand new cryo vision sitting nearby."
