Horizon Ridge the top of the world

LOL I wish, it would make so much sense for Fin to get a child drunk XD

Finley's focus had slipped away from her smallish counterpart to pool all efforts towards learning everything she could about their situation. There was indeed a bear sleeping in there, and so she put to work all of her senses to try and glean what she could from its scent and the sound of its slow, deep breaths. Charon's voice reeled her back from the intensity a bit, but only just enough for her to fill him in on what it was she was doing.

"We wait, we sniff, and we listen," Finley replied softly, "We sniff to see what sort of state its in. Is it sick? Is it alone? Is it an expectant mother just beginning to lactate in preparation for its cubs? Has it made a recent kill? Has it ventured out at all in the past few days? When approaching an enemy like this, you want to know absolutely everything you can about it. Even if it doesn't seem like it would be of any use for you to know, make sure you know it, because you never know what you might need to know." Ow. My brain got mad just writing that sentence.

"We listen because our ears can tell us a lot of the same things," Fin continued, "Furthermore, one can confirm the other so that we can be absolutely certain of our convictions. You follow, Small Pox?" She shot him a sidelong glance to see if he was following.
