I saw it, I swear!

Whether he believed her or not, Iho offered instant comfort to the Princess. Gently rubbing her back with a soft paw. The conviction in his eyes telling her everything she needed to know - they were in this together. Ghosts or not. He would protect her - Not that she would let him do all the work. If it came to a fight, they would take it on together. Just like the anaconda.
She could take on a ghost. Really, she could. She took a deep breath and squared her shoulders. Ignoring the water hanging on to her most of her lower body, and her muddy paws.

She did however wrinkle her nose at the fireflies. “Just so long as they aren’t ghosts, too.” she said, and then gave a nod. “This way” she instructed, and began to lead Iho back the way she had come. Her muddy splashing was a trail easy to follow, and she had started off pretty close to the stream before that. So finding the exact spot she had found her ghostly coyote wasn’t difficult.

“It was right here” She informed him, coming to a stop near the pack lands. “Or… actually, it was over there.” she decided, pointing to a spot further to their right. “Or was it… Oh. It was near here, anyway.” She said with a huff. One bank looked just like another at night. She hadn’t exactly been paying close attention to where she was anyway. Too distracted first by the moon, and second by the ghost. She looked up at Iho, a little expectantly - like she just knew he would be able to figure out where she had started and what he had seen. She had rather a lot of faith in him.
