Though they had only met briefly in passing, Veteran immediately recognized Dione's distinct silhouette against the dark waters of the stream. Had she been moving through the snowy plains, where her coat blended seamlessly, perhaps he would have missed her entirely. What a shame that would have been. The mysterious woman had crossed his mind often, especially when he caught sight of the Glacier peeking out from behind the Dragon.
He moved toward her. He was eager to speak with her again, but he didn't hurry-- he didn't want to give her the wrong idea and frighten her off. ..Not that she was the sort who could be easily intimidated. He recalled that much from their brief encounter at the Glacier.
"Dione," he spoke once he was in range, raising his voice to carry over the noise of the stream. He stepped into the shallows, and the icy waters bit at his toes and ankles. When she looked his way, he would offer his most winning smile, hoping she would be up for company.
