Songbird on the Run

The cry of alarm set Valeriya on edge. The girl surged to her feet and charged towards the sound, blindly even, one part curious and three parts naievly ready to leap between whoever was in trouble and whatever was troubling them. She burst upon the scene just in time to see a pale boy fling a serpent from one side of the clearing to the other. She gasped and watched it sail through the air, trying in vain to see what sort of serpent it was, if it was poisonous, if the strangers life was in danger. "Oh my gods," she exclaimed, darting from her place on the tree line to where she had seen the creature fall. Coming up it quickly she let out a sigh of relief. Just a rat snake, not venomous, just an annoyance. Turning back to the boy, she asked, "Are you okay?" she loped to his side, pausing only a few paces away. She did not stand on formalities, and wouldn't have even if she'd remembered that manners existed in the first place. "I heard you cry out, what happened?" She looked him over for any other marks or blemishes. Was he bleeding? Had the snake caught him in the eye, perhaps? He looked fine, for all that she could see. He looked about her age, perhaps just a bit older, and handsome enough she supposed, if you were into that sort of thing. She coughed nervously, and waited for him to respond.
