Chasing You Down Again

Oki was pretty quiet how he came upon her, but he wasn't trying to hide as he trotted just in front of her view as she was perched on the stones. A part of her internalized in panic, but she just stayed there with her eyes on him moving below. How she could be so weak she'd never understand.
