...mistakes were made [gathering]

Finding out she had company was enough to make her heart skip a beat. Peregrine's head flew up, and upon finding a dark male waiting there and staring at her with expecting eyes, well... Let's just say it was enough to fluster her. She spent a long moment trying to decipher what he'd said before realizing it had been spoken in an entirely different language. Fucking perfect. Her ears flattened in a mix of chagrin and surprise, and she recoiled. She let out an always elegant, "Err... What?" At the very least he didn't seem like he was going to get aggressive with her, but there was no accounting for psychopaths! She tossed a glance farther up the beach to where Tsiry had stopped her trek to give the stranger "The Eye." Another wave pushed up the beach ever closer with the rising tide. Time was failing them, and she'd just about resigned herself to being hungry. This was going to be impossible!
