Fen's mind was working furiously, as if he were trying to speed read a book and flipping incessantly through its pages. He knew that somewhere in his travels, he must have heard something that would explain what it was that he looked at. Something to at least give him a clue. He had seen and heard so much, however, that it was difficult to piece through it all and come to any sort of conclusion. Whatever she was, he would likely have no way of finding out more unless he talked to her. He had a suspicion, however, that she was not going to be very willing to engage in conversation with him.<br/><br/>As his eyes and nose continued to float just above the water's surface, the winged woman stopped short in the middle of one of her aerial pirouettes, noticing him for the first time. She froze in place, staring back at him. Fen couldn't be sure, but she seemed to be sizing him up as well, probably wondering whether he was a threat or not. Then, after a few seconds of being completely still, she began to slowly back away. He couldn't be sure, but he thought she seemed rather scared.<br/><br/>Not knowing what else to do, and knowing that his chance to talk to her could soon slip away, he floated a bit higher in the water to reveal his entire face, then put an arm out and waved to the winged woman. He put on a friendly smile and said, "Hi!"<br/><br/>He looked around, as if noticing the shimmering lake for the first time. "It's kind of nice out tonight, isn't it?"
