Greatwater Lake A careless wanderer

Raven did her best to hide her disappointment when the stranger admitted he'd never seen nor heard of the caldera. Oh, well, she thought. She'd made it this far, surely she could figure out the home stretch. She offered the stranger a small, grateful smile nonetheless, her lips parting in slight surprise when he took a seat rather than walk away.

Oh, um... "That's okay," she said a little inanely. "I was born there," she added a little haltingly. It was probably readily apparent that she wasn't very good at making small talk with strangers. "I went away for a while and I'm just now getting back. My name's Raven, by the way. Raven Redhawk."
