After treading softly in a wide circle, resembling the full moon she walked under, Caspa was about ready to give up. What would her next move be, she wondered. Straight home, or find a place to rest first. She turned to head south, thinking she would move a little distance from the higher ground at least. Something made her pause once more though, stray hairs from her braids blowing a little and catching the first few rays of the late winter dawn, drifting in the softly swirling air that brought the scent of woodsmoke.
Curving her steps in an attempt to find the source, she completed another side of the figure-8 before seeing the glow of firelight. More cautious steps brought her close enough to spy the slumped and sleeping figure, and she smiled, purely because there was nobody there to see her do so.
Finishing her approach almost near enough to reach out and touch him, she crouched, elbows resting loosely on her knees. In this position, her ribs were eased a little; it had the added attraction of bringing her right down to his level. Caspa could never resist the chance to take someone by surprise and thus give herself a small psychological advantage, even an ally like Denver. She also trusted him not to attempt to kill her: or at least she hoped not. "Good morning," she stated after a moment, her black eyes boring into the back of his skull by way of his eyelids.
