Karnl noted that others had come to the lake now. He made no motion to move from his spot though. That was, until he heard some splashing nearby. He lifted his head up, and stared at the woman who had emerged from the water. Upon closer inspection, he noticed that she had a tail. This really caught his interest. He had heard tales of the mermaids, and knew that they lived in the waters of this place, but he had never seen one with his own eyes before. She was quite beautiful, and he wondered if she had seen him when he had been swimming in the lake.<br/><br/>He was considering approaching the mermaid when his attention was taken by the Dragoon who had arrived and called out to those who had gathered around the lake. When the Dragoon revealed himself to be a representative of the Dragoon council, and informed them that someone would need to step forward and speak for their kind, he considered saying something right then and there. He ultimately decided against it though. If some other werecat was willing to take the mantle of leadership, he would have no qualms about it, unless that person appeared to be incompetent or otherwise ineffectual as a leader.<br/><br/>He returned his attention to the mermaid in the lake. Karnl slowly stood up, and stepped into the water, still in his tiger form. He moved slowly, and tried his best to appear friendly. When you were a large predator like he was though, that wasn't all that easy.
