Eska had informed Ulric that she would be close enough to hear him call, but far enough to breathe and think. She'd left the castle that the Hallows called home and moved north until she reached a tear in the land; a fjord where the ocean mixed with fresh water. It was a calming place. The dark trees lining the angled cuts of stone were like a frame for the meeting waters. Other may not have found it so calming, but Eska was a little different than most.

Almost from the very moment that she'd been tailed, she knew. Having been on her own for so long and being the huntress that she was, the woman was hyper aware of her surroundings. The boy wasn't as crafty as he believed himself to be. She could hear the clanking of his sword as he trailed her. Golden eyes rolled slightly as she continued into the fjord. There, she disappeared.

Eska backtracked, following the boy instead of him following her. It was a common tracking tactic. Now that she was behind him, the brindled woman observed the black and blue boy. His scent was thick with Hallows scents and he smelled of her mother as well. Another of the adopted children?

When the armed young brute stopped at the fjord and began to scan the landscape, Eska stepped out of the line of pines behind him. "If you're going to track someone, next time try keeping your sword quiet." The corners of the woman's maw lifted slightly and there was a mischief glint in those twin golden eyes. Eyes... that he should have found quite familiar.
