MAEA
She had not expected a child. Precious and fragile things, they were, and usually guarded well by suspicious adults. Not often did one come across them in places like these, where even seasoned hunters did well to travel in pairs. Unless they had other advantages - like herself.
Hovering on a tussock of firm soil on the borderland between shadow and light, swamp and firm ground, she leaned a shoulder against a nearby tree and watched the boy with hands tucked away in deep pockets. The furtive manner in which he went about only piqued her curiosity even more. He was too far off to make out exactly what he was doing, but whatever it was, he clearly didn't want an audience. Maea smiled to herself. Too bad.
Of course, that's when he looked up. And suddenly she had to decide whether to play the part of a ghost and simply vanish on him, or linger for an explanation. The shifting shadows in the trees above, a caw of anticipation as gleaming eyes trailed the youthful figure made up her mind for her.
"Just a passerby," she replied, her voice a soft drawl of lazy amusement, "wondering what a kid is doing alone in a place like this. They seem to think you want to become dinner." Withdrawing a pale hand, she pointed a finger up at the gore-crows.
