Falls of the Hinterlands But something rustled on the floor

It wasn't impossible to hear the voice above the din of the falls, but at first Saga didn't notice it at all; then, as she sagged in defeat and began to turn back in to the depths of the forest, she caught a glimpse of the pale woman from the corner of her vision, and gasped softly. oh, oh i'm so sorry, i didn't see you, her head ducked as she spoke, speeding through an apology in her too-soft voice. Then, thinking perhaps she would be drowned out by the falls too, Saga slunk a few steps closer and raised her voice again: I thought I saw something to eat. It was foolish of me, I should have been more aware, but she had let her stomach rule her for those fleeting moments.
