Moonspear comedic timing

Hydra watched; she had thought herself visible, and had made no real effort of concealment. Her eyes drifted toward another presence, no more welcome than the first as of yet... but the stranger was distracted by her, and Hydra's path shifted. An ear flicked back in acknowledgment of her subordinate that followed after her, though her eyes remained upon Markus who had noticed detection in some capacity. 

He made his way toward Andraste, and Hydra emerged from the treeline when he was not looking; the Queen moved in long-legged strides to bridge the gap left between them, tail heeld loftily over her hindquarters. No, she answered lowly, I am. She informed him of this and looked him over from where she stood; he was healthy looking, and she could see or smell no injuries upon his person. 

Her silence was pointed; she wanted to know for what reason he had lingered, and she hoped he might know enough to fill in that blank without her needing to ask. She greeted Andraste with a small nod, not bothered by her presence here by any means... more curious, as she was with Markus and his lingering.
