Black Morass a little more falls apart

His next words worried her, and she took a step back. Perhaps it might be a good idea to leave, and soon. He stepped toward her, and she tensed, but then he asked for her help. "I passed a river earlier, to the north-east of here...that way." She pointed in the direction with a flick of her muzzle, trembling ever so slightly. "I'm sorry, Mr. Bear, but I should go..." 

Althaia took off, nervous energy powering her as she darted away past the bear. She ran for a good ten minutes before slowling, panting and lingering fear. She was glad she had made it out of there then, she did not want to be eaten.

Thanks for the thread!
