Breathe Deep, Stop Time

Amon was uncertain what to make of the woman's strange mannerisms. There was something unusual in her movements and the way she seemed to react to his presence. Uncertain what to make of her, but curious as well, he advanced. She slipped into the water in apparent response to his suggestion, and seemed to take to it poorly. The current was quick given the frequency of thunderstorms in the evenings, but Auster's warm dry season days were already upon them, and Amon was more than willing to partake whether this stranger found it pleasant or not. Gulo remained on the bank, hardly keen to get in the water himself. Amon watched the wolverine shrug before beginning to root about on shore for more crayfish, or maybe the occasional frog.

Turning back to the woman, Amon quirked his head. "Doesn't the water suit you?" Despite her joyous proclamation, Amon read the opposite in her tense frame and calculated movements. His smile grew a fraction wider and he continued with, "I would hate to have you suffering on my account." It seemed a contradictory thing to say, Amon reflected, given that he had wrought a great deal of suffering in his years. For the moment it was true. The woman was odd but Amon did not yet consider her to be a threat, merely a curiosity, and so did not wish her any harm. He wondered what it was about the river's cool flow that she found unpleasant, but in the end it wasn't his business telling some strange fae what she should and should not be doing. If she suffered, it was after all her own fault.
