Noctisardor Bypass Sanctum

It was unfortunate that she'd have to bother to move.  Summer was kind of a jerk.  Could they just rewind a little bit to spring so she could just spend the day goofing off?  It's not like she had any responsibility to deal with...   At least for the short term.  Sigh.  Freedom was kind of nice, wasn't it?

That was about when the ducks decided to kick up a fuss and fly-skim to the other side of the lake where maybe the water plants were greener or something.  The noise jolted her awake from her almost-doze, looking around for what might have caused them to startle.  It was nobody's fault in actuality, just birds being loud because they were birds.  Searching the shores for a reason she might have to move, she spotted a wolf that appeared to have been heading her way.  The shadow along the shore was close enough to opposite her in color it was no wonder he was staying out of the sun.  

What was more of a game was to be able to keep an eye on him but not seem threatened -- who knew what types were out here, after all.  Though she watched him fairly intensely for the first few seconds she'd noticed he existed, she eventually shifted him to her peripheral vision, focusing more on a few final stretches and then getting up to get a drink from the lake.  It was a good way to waste time and give him a chance to approach if he wanted to without being hideously awkward, and she was keen on playing it cool.  Unless he wanted to bum rush her, that'd be kinda freaky and she'd maybe do something else instead.
