Firefly Ravine all the way to cassadaga to commune with the dead

she didn't seem startled by him. good. he didn't want to startle her. that wasn't his plan at all. well... he really didn't have a plan. he'd just seen her reaching in the water and was concerned for her children. "call m' Benedict" he'd reply as he proceeded to walk into the water to her side. giving her a friendly nod of his head, his eyes would turn back to the large rock with the flower on top. roots intact... got it. he wouldn't try to harm the flower if he could. his paws were soaked now and he questioned his hold, but he was larger than the other and a bit taller. he readied his muscles and jumped out of the water, scrambling to hold onto the rocky surface.

luck would be on his side, as he felt for hold and pushed himself up. it was all done quickly and he wasn't sure if he could do it again. so he'd make this count. the flower was unknown to him, but it gave off a lovely scent. the earth around it was a bit soft, so he dug as best he could before pulling it out. the stock was in his jaws gently, the roots a bit harassed but usable. he'd focus on getting down now. sliding back into the water after his little jump, he'd reach out for the woman to take the flower from him. couldn't put it in the water after all.
