Victoria Elizabeth had considered taking a nap in the sun, but it wasn't nearly as often as she would've liked that she had the opportunity to go for a swim. Her poor child didn't appreciate water nearly as much as she did. Something about wet clothes being uncomfortable... If only he had scales instead of delicate skin. So, she swam alone, trotting along on the bottom of the river, feeling light as a bird as fish flitted around her.

Eventually, she headed back down the river to where the clearing was. Her poor son would be worried if she wasn't there when he came back. She approached slowly, not disruping the water at all as only her eyes peeked above the surface. She didn't see him anywhere. [i]Pity.[/i] He was always gone far too long for her liking. It took her a moment to spot the tiny black shape helping itself to the fish she'd caught earlier. A cat. How sweet. Oh? Not just a cat, it seemed. She could sense something beyond it being a simple [i]animal[/i]. 

It was a very useful skill to be able to quickly discern whether or not the prey you were planning on surprising and dragging into the water would've been capable of speech or not. If it speaks, it isn't meant to be eaten. However, one could hardly approach and ask without scaring away a potentail meal.

The cat's aura was nothing alarming. It simply indicated intelligence.

Well, watching somebody without them knowing you were there, was rather rude. If she scared the poor thing away, so be it. She calmly came to the edge of the rather narrow river where her claws quickly found ground and heaved herself out of the water. "Hello there, dear," she said cheerily. "Beautiful morning, isn't it?"
