Never smile at a...

Was she following him?? Maybe.

She hadn't set out with the intention of hunting the young man down, but as she approached the river with the intention of bringing the smoothed, cool stones home to outline her garden, his scent was strong and compelled the woman to change course easily. With her nose to the ground, Widow trailed after him and wondered what had him out at the river today. It wasn't like she was surprised given the proximity to Ashen, but more like a happy coincidence. She was drawn to the young man in ways she couldn't describe, so abandoning one want for another, deeper want didn't take a second thought.

Widow was more than aware of the risk that came with the river. Various predators were drawn to it for the supply in not only water, but the food also attracted to the river. There were also those that lived within the river, some more dangerous than others. Widow wasn't sure what she was going to find following his trail, but she certainly hadn't expected (or wanted) to see him facing off with a caiman.

Snarling, Widow rushed towards the pair. Her jaw found her staff and yanked it from its holdings then used the momentum to swing the heavy end at the caiman to distract it as she approached. Stolas would probably have this under control without her help, but she didn't stop to think about that. Instead, she was only worried about what would happen if he didn't have it under control.

"Speech!"
