(S9/Lil)  Tirush feels a momentary surge of anger at the little hitchhiker, but it is almost instantly replaced by admiration for her  having slipped in so close without being noticed. She is here because she wants to be close to you, she thinks to herself. But there is a time and place. This is neither. Then, let us make it so.

"Hush," she says, with authority. "Watch."

Oddly, she doesn't have to shout to make herself heard---because they have gone from rocketing through the sky to a near standstill, the only sounds coming from the murmuring hush of Tirush's wings catching the air. They float a thousand feet in the air, partially obscured by low clouds of fog that have yet to be burned away by the sun.

...The sun. Lilrava notices that Tirush glides facing west. She drifts almost sideways, riding the air current as she scans the ground far below. The sun is behind them, the fog below them---she is using the sun itself as camouflage.

The superpredator sees something on the ground and smiles. She turns her head to speak again.

"Tell me, little Raven.  What do you see?"

Far below them is a sizable pond, almost a small lake. In the middle of the lake is a small island. A figure stands on the island, dressed in a robe.

"Tell me your instincts," she says, almost quietly. "What do you see?  And then, what do you do?"
