Velvet had made good time when she heard noises behind her an again she sought to define the source as animal or human which required that she pause in some nearby bushes.

It didn't take long before what was clearly a member of genus [url= http://40.media.tumblr.com/fbaa28860ed936248db577a6650b83e7/tumblr_mokm6j4Xnh1sw5s1uo1_1280.jpg]Cervus[/url] a Ruminantia or Herbivore that had little interest in her. It was a beautiful animal and though she was tempted to reveal herself to it so she could judge it's reaction to her as a predator she declined due to it's size and horns. She knew from reading that such creatures could be dangerous even if they didn't see her as a food source simply as a territorial intruder; she refused to die in such a manner.

She had to wait several minutes before the creature moved off an was out of sight so she could continue once more to parallel the river which was now flowing from the north almost directly. 

She was now more careful after her chance encounter with the.....; what the hell should she call it?
 [color=AFEEEE]"Bichro deer, Blaneg deer"[/color] she said softly to herself using merged descriptor as it's name an decided she didn't really care what it was called only curious if she could eat them.

Shrugging Vel laughed silently to herself an resumed her retreat to the north. 

Her ears had become hyper sensitive to every sound when she heard noises behind her an used the next rise in the terrain to hide behind a tree an see what was following her, it was him. She fought the urge to take off running an instead formulated a plan. She had to move slower after encountering the Bichro and that was why she was overtaken by the noisy boy who should be being digested but perhaps she could use him as her safety margin. 

His rash actions at the river and an obvious need to take risks could be useful if she were clever so she paced herself to be overtaken by him in a narrow clearing. Sure he had a makeshift spear but she was certain he lacked much if any skill in it's use as a ranged weapon.

[color=00FFFF] "You really just ditched me back there? I could've been eaten! I mean not immediately like when you left, I was still alive then, but later I could've been."[/color] he said from behind her.

Velvet stopped and turned towards him with a feral smile an answered
[color=AFEEEE]" If you'll think back I did warn you about entering unknown waters an the potential of ppredators[/color] she paused to survey him for wounds and saw he did actually have what appeared to be a bad one on his leg.
[color=AFEEEE]"I see I was right about the predator; just what did you expect me to do? Jump in an save you?

You out mass me by at least 30 kilos and it took you under so logic dictated that I would have at best barely escaped or offered it myself as a dietary replacement. "[/color]

Velvet's thoughts spun quickly as she weighed her options an found she didn't like her best choice but had to give into the logic of
[color=AFEEEE]" Now I'm forced by logic to point out that your first aid technique is lacking either thought or supplies. These are unknown environs we are in and the bacteria I warned you of before could be presently infecting your wound. Lucky for you I have one of the ship's first aid kits in my pack an it has broad spectrum antibiotic powder an sterile bandages.

If you want to form an alliance with me I will be happy to see to it that you stand a better chance of keeping that leg. Together we can survive better than alone.

What Say You?"[/color]
