Around the next bend in the path, Echelon soon discovered it was blocked by a furry body. That was enough to slow her gait considerably as she drew in the sights of the brunette, unaware that the feminine roadblock had stumbled across something of interest. It was the caution that made Echelon leery, but that was a message she betrayed swiftly. Her small stature drew itself up into something a touch more dominant than what had been wandering along; her attention was safely fixed on the unfamiliar canine. If it had been her intention to steer Echelon clear of the path ahead, she had only done enough to draw more attention to it.

Chuffing at her as she drew close, Echelon brought her pace to a stop. She wanted her to move, of course, but it was also just as easy to go around her. No, it was the boldness she sought out in the other, the one who had bothered to be watching and waiting for her in the first place. What business did they have around here? Were they also from the spires that lurked overhead of them somewhere? There were more questions she wondered about, but none of them came to her lips. She was arrogant enough to suspect she would soon find out, though.
