Ayaka
Ayaka continued down the path knowing her frost wolf would follow. She heard the bird singing as the sun set. Rikami started barking and running toward where the sound came from. "Rikami settle down!" she called to him as she ran after him. At the wey fir he sniffed around for a minute. Ayaka sighed. "Well don't make this into playtime. We can play after the test." She walked up to her excited frost wolf and pet him on the head. "Honestly, you pick the most random moments to become excited. Looks ok to rest here for the night."
Mystique's location
The bird continued to follow Mystique before flying ahead and landing in a nearby tree.
(By the way, there'll be wey fir type things for her to rest in too. Basically just a bigger tree that's hollowed out inside the trunk. I need to add them to the map, but the first one Mystique comes to should be a bit further down the path after crossing the lake.)
