Serpent Lake Who fell down the well?

He shook his head quickly, ears pinning to his skull as the stranger stepped back. She seemed... frightened? No, no, it's just - uh - we're scouting this place out, he explained a bit lamely, faltering. He took a step forward, just enough to catch the fishy scent of her recent meal. For a... garden, I guess.

I don't think that counts as trespassing, Panacea added more softly, an awkward attempt at reassurance. He dared another step forward, shoulders dropping to show he was no threat. He knew what it was like to go through the world with nothing to call your own but your fear. I don't mind, anyway.
