Firefly Ravine Americana

After meeting lovely Pheiros (and Merlin was not ashamed to remember the kind fellow fondly) the young adventurer's path had taken him northwards. More out of necessity - because food was growing scarcer and he had to range out further - than because of an actual plan in mind. And after few days of walking he had arrived at a river that crossed his way. There had been no good bridges to cross, where he had arrived initially, so he was prompted to wander westwards and see, whether there was anything of use down there.

He did not come across a safe pass, but he did spot a wolf sniffing out the area and after watching him work for a brief moment, Merlin elected to approach him with a friendly wag and a witty ice-breaker, when someone beat him to it. He cast a side-glance to the woman in the distance, did not consider her dangerous and then went on with, what he had intended to say initially: "Watcha you trying to vacuum up?"
