Kerberos was kind enough, soft with his words as he informed her he would be getting a move on before encouraging her to be cautious in the currents here. She offered him a courteous nod before eyeing the stream and proceeding to step on in. "Thanks for the heads-up," she replied, looking the man over a final time before they went their separate ways.Dipping her head to lap up a cool and quick drink, she reckoned she'd better be on her way as well; her find wouldn't do anyone any good sitting on the dirt out here, and her escape for the day gave her enough satisfaction.
"Well, in that case, I hope your travels are interesting and coyote free, Kerberos. It was a pleasure meeting you...Perhaps I'll see you around," she smiled. She could have gone on to wish him the best or ask where he would go from here, but somehow she felt as though he was good and ready to get along. Or maybe she was just used to any extenuating conversation ending with a dismissive eye roll or snarky remark. You know, Askan and all. Receding from the water to shake the excess off her creamy paws, she dipped her head to her new acquaintance as a goodbye gesture before collecting her stash of bloodroot and padding off into the depths of the forest with Shallows Edge as the north of her compass.
