Firestone Hot Springs With this knowledge he will fall

As he'd been exiting one pool of water in favour of another, his movements had been brought to an immediate and sudden stop. Away from him, there'd come coughing and some snorting, attracting the boy's attention. When he'd turned to investigate, he'd found the other to be there staring at him, which had caused for his body to lower down into a crouching position. For a moment, he'd done nothing more than stare at her, a silent snarl finding its way onto his lips every now and again. Yet, when he'd determined that the stranger was of no threat to him, he'd straightened himself out and started to approach, walking with his legs somewhat locked and at a moderate pace. He could not recognize her face, his mind having been filled with so many other things since their last encounter, and so he's stopped once he was close enough to determine her sex and view her overall appearance.

Xan hadn't bothered with hiding his doings as his peculiar eyes scanned over her form, leaving not even an inch without inspection. Even still, nothing had clicked within his mind, keeping them as strangers and nothing more. "Do you know how to breathe?" he'd asked, tone snarky. He wasn't the least bit pleased by her disturbance, having found it to be troubling and a complete distraction from his previous task.
