The sun hangs high as the crew rides lazily through the canyon, heading back toward camp.
Vuvi, Veena, and their new companion Raikya lounge atop the plush, oversized mattress floating a few feet above the ground, courtesy of Zora's "Deluxe Cloud Ride" spell. The enchantment shimmers faintly with each bounce, rocking gently like a cushioned boat on water.
Pip beeps happily as he bounces along on the back of a large frostmane hound, Penelo clinging to him like a fluffy backpack, occasionally dozing off against his shoulder plate. Lula rides another hound, giggling as the beast leaps over boulders in powerful bounds, her curls bouncing like excited flames. Sera, still trying to appear stoic, can't fully hide the grin tugging at her mouth as she leans low over her hound's back, savoring the thrill of the ride.
Even the frostmane hounds seem pleased, tails swishing in sync, a soft chorus of pat-pat-pat~ paws against packed earth.
