Filling The Void

OOC: This thread is timed before Reiko's meeting with Hyder!
Leaping left to right, the young woman weaved through the delta with much childish grace. Her long legs making it easy to leap over the smaller ledges from one side of the creek to the other, only to run along the bank and leap over to the other the moment there was a jump-able opening. There was one in particular that was just a bit larger than the others; she stopped at the edge to size up the leap, nodded and backed up to prepare for a running jump... Three, two, one... and she bolted. As fast as her legs could carry her, Reiko pushed off of the ledge and stretched her body as far as it could go to ensure a safe landing.
Her eyes lit up in pride and excitement, seeing land approach in almost slow motion, her toes spread wishing to touch soil again - and quickly they did! Her front paws were the first to touch, and a smile graced her lips in price - only for surprise to hit as her hind legs stumbled on the edge, barely making it as she slid and dug her nails in the ground to try and heave herself up onto the bank. Come - oooooon She encouraged herself further, muscling through the near fall until she was safe on land with her legs sturdy on the ground. She did it! I did it! She exclaimed while prancing, her paws lithely dancing upon the grasses while her alabaster plume weaved in the air behind her.
In midst celebration, she caught a glimpse of something in the grasses not too far away. Her shouting was cut off immediately as curiosity took hold, turning her audits toward the figure and her eyes focused on the spot. Tilting her head, she trotted forward; slowly creeping forward toward the individual who seemed to be looking at themselves near the water. H-hello?? She tried to break the ice carefully, ears dropping for a moment, scared to know what kind of reaction he might have. Are you okay? Do you need help? I know some medicine, so I can be of help, even just a little. She kept speaking as she neared him, her ears finally rising in curiosity as she turned around him to see his face. Spotting some wounds, but they seemed to already be closed. She sighed, thankful he seemed alright.
I'm Reiko. She smiled wide, so wide that her eyes winced because her cheeks rose too high to allow them any space to open.
