Well, well. So it isn't just her imagination -  There *is* something about the waters that are different. Different - But not unpleasant. It's a reminder of that strange sensation that caused her to awaken...Or so she thinks. Except there's little chance for her to investigate - She has to keep an eye on Grint.<br/><br/>Just as she's expected, the goblin is fast asleep...heedless of the fire that has gone out. But what captures Alura's attention are the *other* interlopers she can sense - Approaching the goblin's resting place!<br/><br/>For a moment, Alura wonders exactly what she might be running into - It only makes sense to lie in wait and watch. She gets the feeling that these might be other scouts for the same army...If she's going to save her lake, there might yet be a need for her to negotiate with them.<br/><br/>For now, she creeps closer - Silently observing, following the humanoid figures...Waiting to see how they respond. She'll have to determine what they are, first, before making any rash decisions...
