Two Rivers Isle offering a prayer

The man was taking a walk. He'd been absent for some time from these lands, but now he returned from his costal venture West. It showed him more of the world, but when the Earth tremoured, he returned here hoping the damages were less. Of course, he got rather wet on the coast. The massive waves that crashed and now he knew not to search for the ocean when it went missing.

But Komal was back, with thanks to Sea Dragon watching after him. Passing over the frozen river to hunt things not under the canopy not too far behind him. It offered thick shelter even in the frozen wastes of winter. There was a black shape on the almost untouched snow. He blended right in, and this form almost did. Could, but just didn't. Too active. 
Komal moved closer for some interaction.

She spoke, but not to herself he could tell. She was so busy in payer to not notice him, so he sat down so he didn't interrupt her. It was bad to have interruption of prayer; for him and her.
Whence she'd finished, he spoke softly: "Hey." 
He hoped she wasn't a ninja and would rip his throat out before he could say bamboozled.
