Lost Creek Hollow "what did the fish say..."

I hope Ilya's ramblings aren't too obnoxious. They're my favorite thing about her character. She knows a lot but she's pretty horrid at applying her knowledge to her surroundings and then communicating them to others. She's a smart wolf who just can't exercise her knowledge effectively. (:

Ilya found herself holding her breath while she stared at the creature. It was only when Mordecai startled it that she remembered to breathe. She looked back to her alpha, shaking her fur out to focus herself back on the situation. 

At his question, she found herself staring at the blocked off water. While not a lot, she figured it would grow. Obviously it would still let water through, but she couldn't quite decide what would happen with the river downstream the dam. She sat, trying to map out the tributaries that flowed from the river in her head. She hadn't explored too much of the territories, and only noted a few of the cleaner streams that Luke had showed her, and in truth she only assumed that they came from the muddy river. She looked to Mordecai, a bit uncertain in her thoughts. 

"Well..." she began, her bark only a murmur as she pieced together her thoughts. "I'm not seeing any pros of keeping it," she replied, her gaze scanning over the area again. "The beavers smell bad, for one," she let out a subtle joke, but in truth she found their stench highly unbearable, and disliked every step they took closer to the dam. "But the water source they're creating is too far to be useful, and the Mudminnow River is too dirty to be a reliable source of water anyway. The rest of the river will freeze faster since there will be less water, but as far as I'm concerned they'll freeze over anyway," she shrugged, still staring. Truth be told, she wasn't even sure if she was being useful to Mordecai at this point, she was just thinking out loud. The black fae let out a huff.

 "Truthfully," she looked back towards the superior male, "I just don't see any reason to keep it around. The smaller streams will dry up and those are the cleaner of our water sources that run through our territory. And in the warmer seasons those will be dry enough as it is. I just feel like there are risks behind the dam that I'm overlooking due to lack of experience with them."
