High Tides

Nestled neatly in the bushes, she felt rather confident that she wouldn't be noticed. Too bad she was upwind. As he paused and began to look around she froze, wondering if he'd figure out where she was. It took him several long moments, but he finally managed to do it, turning to look at her directly. Oops, well, that hadn't worked out too well for her given that her goal hadn't been to be seen, but he didn't seem too aggressive right now. Definitely in charge, but not aggressive, so she could work with that.

"Yeah, that'd probably be a good thing," she admitted softly. She hadn't really been intending to get water at that moment, but it was always good to take some if one could find it considering the weather and heat around them. Most would probably be happy about getting caught in a rain storm at this point. "I've been wandering around," she concluded.

Given that he'd already found her, there wasn't any point in hiding in the bushes anymore, so she extricated herself from it, shaking herself off to get any loose leaves or twigs off of her. No point in looking disheveled she thought. Especially not in front of someone she had just met, even though she wasn't big on looking pristine all the time.
