The situation hadn't altered at all since Arcan and Althea noticed the girl by the road. Althea began to move slowly closer to her, as quietly as she could. Always on her guard, but not one to kill out of simple suspicion, she had decided to investigate the onlooker. Suddenly the stranger halted abruptly as if stopped by some other force, and Althea froze. The girl tensed up for a moment, then her shoulders seemed to relax a bit, she then stepped further into the trees and out of Althea's sight completely. Althea couldn't guess what this might mean, so she decided to retreat to the carriage and consult with Arcan. She leaped onto the wagon and said, "That person was acting odd. She wasn't with either of the two groups that have been targeting us. She made no move to attack or threaten us. And the strange part is, when she turned as if to leave, she stopped short in an odd way, paused for a moment, then slowly walked off. I have no idea if she went away, or is lingering. I find it bizarre. What are your thoughts? Should we go after her?"
