The other withdrew from the lake's edge as though he had given up on his venture to break through the ice, before suddenly turning his masked face in Redshank's direction. Having no time to duck out of sight, the Cairn stiffened and stared back, focusing on the scars where the other's right eye should have been. He knew him. He was different, but the same. However, Redshank's memory failed him and he could only watch, puzzled and defensive, as the curious man now made towards him, disappearing into the forest below.

With effort, he too skittered down the rocky slopes, intent on intercepting the stranger. What he would do exactly when he encountered him he wasn't quite sure — he would deal with that issue when he got there. For the time being, the Carin's tail was held aloft as he dove into the woodland, golden eyes searching for any hint of the flighty ghost.
