The cool water was invigorating. It had been a couple days since he'd had any, leaving him severely dehydrated. Now he sat  at a body of fresh water, lapping without restraint. After a few moments, Keirus pulled his head up, licking his chops as he did so. There was an odd scent close by.. the scent of human. He grabbed his gear in his jaws, and followed the scent.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">I wonder..</span><br/><br/>It wasn't anyone from his village. That much became clear a few meters away from the origin of the scent. Still, he decided to investigate. As he sniffed around, he began to envision the happenings that had occurred here. There were three humans; one male, two females. The odors of a male and female were easily distinguishable for his kind, but there was something else. Another scent was in the area, though it wasn't completely human. It had a masculine tinge, and a stone-like odor. He sniffed around the area some more to finish analyzing the scene.<br/><br/>They had left the same way they arrived, to the northeast. He did not pursue them, instead deciding to observe the area more. After all, he could detect a hint of food in that direction, which was enough to pique his curiosity. He moved silently towards the treeline, staying out of view so as to keep his presence hidden, and maintain a comfortable distance.
