Swiftcurrent Creek no one's gone

Kas slunk backward and Druid resumed ignoring her presence. It took quite a lot of work to focus on her task, though she managed to wait and watch patiently until what looked like some sort of catfish swam within reach. She struck at it, but missed.

Undeterred, she settled back on her haunches, growing still as a statue. Druid lost track of time and wondered if Kas would grow bored and leave. She didn’t dare glance behind her, lest she miss an opportunity, and was glad of her own dedication when she took another shot and managed to scoop a small trout from the current.

Clenching it in her teeth, Druid spun and cantered back toward the bypass, refusing the impulse to look around for any sign of Kas.

I segued into this thread, in case you wanna have her follow! :)
