He moved after her, obediently- in spite of his wild looks and the intensity of his gaze, he seemed willing enough to follow the command of a complete stranger, even one as young as she was without any question. Suzu was not one who moved with much haste, but her dislike for the area quickened her step, and her breath soon came in little puffs. 

”Suzu,” She said in response, over the huff of her breath. His legs were much longer than hers, and it made her quite aware of the difference in their physique to see the grace with which he moved in comparison to her short, choppy steps. She envied him for his sporty build. 

Her breath hitched when he expressed his sympathies, and spared him a glance at that moment. He seemed earnest, but fumbling. Perhaps he was in over his head, coming here to a pack which still reeled in the wake of their losses. She coughed, softly, and cleared her throat. She nodded. It was as close as she could come to talking about such tender things with a stranger. 

She did, however, enjoy the fact that he would get to see Sapphique with fresh eyes- and that she would get to see his appreciation first-hand. ”I will show you. Come; we will go dis way,” She said, veering toward the South, so she might save Bluepeace Meadows, and the tunnel down to the beach for later. She could take him toward the freshwater lake, first, past the scraggly woodlands and thickets.
