Jonas' nostrils flare and he tosses his head in an unconscious equine gesture of consternation.
"I don't like this. Maybe you'd better get off. If we're attacked, I don't want to worry about you falling off when I change forms."
As he kneels down to give Cassandra an easy dismount, he notices something and says in a low voice, "There's another building, inside the treeline. I can't quite make out what it is."

*Cassandra nods and dismounts.*
"Yes, I saw it too."

The grand white steed stains black, and crumples down into a shapeless pile of ebony that almost immediately sprouts feathers and a pair of spindly legs...then springs into the air on a pair of hastily-formed wings. Cassandra finds a raven perched on her shoulder, preening and cawping.
"...a familiar," it finishes in a croaking voice. "Now lets see what all this trouble is about."

"Curiosity killed the Tressym, you know?" Cassandra sighs, "Come on, let's go."
Jonas and Cassandra are both paying close attention to there surroundings, so the partially hidden lean-to in the woods behind the house does not escape their notice. Jonas, with especially keen eyes, can see that the small structure in the woods is about 4 feet tall and made of gathered wood from the remains of the house covered with anything from leafy branches to animal skins. She is quite sure that it moved a bit when her and Cassandra began to walk toward it, but she can't see if anyone is inside and it could just be the wind (though unlikely with the cover from the trees).
As the two of you depart from the road and walk toward the house (which is about 40 ft. off the road), you notice more details of the scene. The house is almost entirely burnt to the ground, but there are some remnants of personal affects within, such as a the few things in the house that were made of metal (a stove, some tools stored near the door, etc.). It is also clear that another buildning next to the house (presumably a shed or very small barn), was also burned. No bodies are present and you don't see any living creatures or people around.

"Looks like either the people who lived here escaped the blaze, were captured and taken away, or were eaten."

"I can gain the ability to feel hidden things that are nearby, but there aren't all too many divinations that are quick to use and would yield useful information in this situation."
