Unfortunately for the young huntress, her awareness of her surroundings and readiness wasn't enough to stop what was going to happen next. A thick rope net shot out of the lake as she approached it, wrapping around her body in a swift motion. When the net had been draped over her; something pulled hard, causing Aelia to be swept from her feet. The net was quickly dragged into the water by something.. Or as she would soon find out, [i][url=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/97/bf/b7/97bfb70d0a2526d2ba43fb1d404408f4.jpg]someone[/url].[/i]

The young man, whom seemed to be around her age, if not slightly older, realized what he had pulled into the water, a confused expression written on his face. A young woman? He quickly pushed the huntress to the surface of the water, allowing her to catch her breath at the surface, where he soon joined her, his face quite close to hers, his hands holding her above the surface of the lake.

[color=0072bc]"Uh.. My apologies, miss. I mistook you for something else."[/color] He said in a slightly playful tone, giving her a slight smirk. [color=0072bc]"Although, you might be a better catch than most."[/color] He added cheekily, winking at her, before untangling the net that was still constricting the young woman. 

When they had made it back onto land at the edge of water, he noticed her bow and arrows. [color=0072bc]"Oh! You must be the new Silent Hunter candidate that moth--Talia sent."[/color] He said in mock surprise before deciding to introduce himself. [color=0072bc]"Name's Lazarus, nice to meet you."[/color] He stretched out his hand toward the huntress in greeting.
