*The kitsune heard the sound of Dušana's movement, his ears quickly perking up. Being descended of foxes meant that his ears were amplified in power. He knew that someone or something was nearby, but truly could care less. He poked the fish with a stick and stared down at his flute.*

"What will I play today...?" *He said softly to himself, his voice was calm and almost as soothing as the flute itself.*

*He raised the flute to his lips and readied his fingers. The kitsune's eyes closed and he began to softly play a song. It was a calm song, though not necessarily sad. Like his voice, the song was soft and soothing. The melody of the flute's song flowed well with the cackling of the fire nearby. As he played, he eyed the direction of where the sound from earlier came from. This was in an attempt to make sure whoever might be there would know he knew they were there. Once again, he closed his eyes and returned to playing the song, his tail relaxed against the log he sat on, his ears relaxing as well.*
Sarah
*Perceiving the melody, bestowed such clarity over Dušana.
'How absolutely lovely..' She thought to herself as she raised a hand, and brought it over towards the area of her heart. And, as she placed a gentle palm upon it, her being began to gradually relax as well.*

*And it was for a moment, time became seemingly still. For it was Dušana, the stranger, and his lovely little melody.*

*That ease ceased though as the Kitsune transferred his sight over towards the area to which she settled. Goodness... She had been prying too long. Surely, this boy wouldn't appreciate someone curiously eyeing him at his most intimate moment?*

*Perhaps, she should go over and apologize for intruding. After all, it was only polite. Albeit, she didn't know this boy. Who he was, or what he was even capable of. For all she knew, this setting could potentially be a trap! The odds are endless. Especially, in a world like this.*

*This tug of war between going and staying governed over Dušana's mind. Should she play it safe?*

*Perhaps...
Yes. Perhaps she should play it safe. For it is better to be safe than sorry. Thus, with that idea in mind, Dušana began to raise herself from her kneeling. In follow to this, she began to slowly... Slowly back herself away from the area...*
Daniel
*Gently, the kitsune lowered the flute from his lips. He turned his head over to where Dušana was walking and gave a slight grin* "You know, you do not need to hide from me. If you would like to listen, you can, I would not mind"

*He didn't know that she was actually there, only that he heard movement. However, if it was a wild animal, he knew he would've been attacked by now. The kitsune didn't mind an audience, and would prefer some constructive criticism*
Sarah
*Having heard the Kitsune speak, Dušana froze within place. 'Oh no..' she thought to herself.*

*Well, tug of war of the mind was now settled. Surely, she cannot just desert now. That would appear awfully rude on her end.*

*Straightening out her spine, and raising her chin just lightly; Dušana inhaled, then exhaled a gentle and quiet breath. This in an attempt to bring her into a state of ease and focus. It was in follow, that she allowed her gaze to study the entirety of the area. For, if this boy did purpose any sign of malicious intent, she would flee swiftly. 
She was grateful that the stretch was at least vast. In case, it would allow her a quick escape.*

*But for now, the Kitsune awaited. And she better hurry to present herself. Come out of hiding, offer the boy a kind compliment for his wondrous playing, exchange goodbye's, and onward she shall proceed towards her journey home. This was her plan. Surely it was simple. This ought to be simple... Right?*

*With one step going forward, the other step followed. This pattern continued until Dušana was at least at a safe but able to see distance away from the boy.
Her expression showed no signs of internal debate. Instead, it appeared rather neutral. Nevertheless, she offered the Kitsune a kind and warm smile.*

"Ah, do forgive me for intruding. I thought you played the flute beautifully. I had to stop and see whom could it possibly be to be playing such a marvelous melody."
Daniel
"Thank you, I very much appreciate the compliment," *He bowed his head in appreciation, though his face a bit void of expression. Though he genuinely appreciated it, he was not very good at showing emotion* "What are you doing out here? I don't tend to see many people out here in the mountains"

*The kitsune paid very little attention to her as he spoke. This could either be a sign of trust, naive stupidity, or a ploy. It was hard to read him. He would just continue to poke at and turn the fish* "It's quite dangerous out here, the wildlife isn't the friendliest."
Sarah
*Dušana held the smile she had as the Kitsune replied and then bowed his head. Once uplifted, she took a second or two to study his countenance. However, this act was done briefly without any hint of doing so. Albeit, to little avail, she hadn't been able to read him. It was when he brought up the question regarding about why she had been out here, that Dušana's awareness was brought back to the current state.*
"Oh," *She nodded her head and brought her arms to fold behind her.*
"Well I wouldn't particularly be too anxious about the state of the animals. Plenty of them are quite harmless you see." 
*She spoke in a gentle yet, leveled tone of voice as she completely disregarded his first question.*
Daniel
*The kitsune caught onto the fact that she dodged his first question, slightly raising an eyebrow. Though, that wasn't visible to Dušana as he still faced away. His tail began to sway from side to side gently, occasionally brushing up against his body. It was fairly fluffy and well taken care of, he most likely brushed it on a daily*

*Pretending not to notice her disregard of his question, he would continue to speak* "No need to speak of the nature of animals in front of one," *He joked, though it wasn't that funny* "There are plenty of harmless wildlife, like the birds and the squirrels, but the bears tend to be quite the nuisance."
Sarah
*By his jest, Dušana released a warm laugh to herself. 'One for jokes.' She mentally noted.*
"Ah, yes. But you *Were* The one to mention it first." *Her laugh diminished with each word said.* 
"And, sure. Animals such as the birds, and the squirrels can appear to be harmless. Whereas, animals like the bear are seemingly the opposite. However, surely I tell you-"
*She allowed the smile she had prior meet her lips again.*
"Such creatures are commonly misjudged." 

*As she concluded her sentence, the only thought that came to mind was the idea that she had spoken too much. Goodness... The exchanges between this boy and her were meant to be quick and simple. Additionally, she was meant to be home by now. 
Marmee and her sisters must be getting worried.*

*Dušana brought fourth her arms to release them from their fold. Offering then, the boy another kind smile as she slowly began to withdraw herself from the space.*
"Well, truly it was a pleasure to meet you! May you enjoy the rest of your day. Wonderful chat." *She spoke with no rush. However, she, herself, felt in a rush.*
*Turning herself about she began to think, 'Now to just get home...'*
