Tranquil ripples followed in Tethys' wake as she swam lazily across the river, the tug of the current sluggish and weak against her powerful and trained strokes. Water seeped into her sleek black cloak, but the heat created by swimming was enough to keep the wolf comfortable. She swam with her chin poised just above the tepid river, giving her a strong view of the opposite bank. It was there the Nereides spotted the ebony form of the male approach the shore.

For her three years on Earth Tethys had been trained in the ways of deception, and from the moment she had touched water the warrior was shown how to move undetected beneath the liquid surface. With her paws moving underwater like paddles, Tethys could propel herself at an agreeable pace across any body of water, leaving only a wake. She suspected that's what kept her hidden from the male as he stepped away from the edge and moved back up the grass. The raven made landfall only a few minutes later, water streaming from her pelt as she strode across the silty rocks, making only the most minimal of splashes.

The stranger had dissapeared into the brush, but Tethys could easily pick up his lingering scent, and slipped into the forest after him.
