After a brief pause in absorption, Katheryn could feel the land around gain a sort of hum of energy. Her bolt had missed. She began to sift through possibilities. She saw the man running his fingers through the water. She knew this was not a man in passing. And it could not be mere coincidence that the bolt had not connected. His act was unecessary, but clearly he would know that if the bolt had been fired at him. He was hiding something. Katheryn saw an opportunity, and took out her mid-sized drone. She input a few basic limiter commands and let the machine free. It held no aura or essence. She was beginning to suspect his "dodge" was a helping presence, or he would have held that green gleam in his eyes the first time he glanced upward. The machine was undetectable to a magic-based being. As she sensed the small emitter she held vibrate, she knew the drone was in position. She drew her hand out of the bag and continued to watch the man, reflexes ready for a quick flight. The man was humming throughout. She was unsure of whether this fact was of any great importance, or if it was simply part of the 'act'.
