[PRP] Fetching Crocodiles (Giveforward x Things Unheard)

[Samuel Carlin]

To anyone just visiting a swamp, unfamiliar with the sounds of daily life in and around the edges of water, they probably wouldn't have noticed the odd sound of a body moving through water the way Things Unheard did. Then again, they hadn't grown up with the sense of spirits tugging him in one direction or another, either. They couldn't hear the the voices telling him to turn here, look there, and to hurry.

He heard the out-of-place splashing, and expected an animal stuck somewhere, tangled in grass and struggling to get out without calling attention to itself. He could help with that. He ... would have more trouble with ...whatever this doe was doing. A doe, no question, he could tell that by sight immediately, but what she was doing? He had not a clue.

For once, the spirits opted not to speak.

So he waited for her to lift her head again, then very carefully cleared his throat. "That's an... odd way to take a bath."

No worries at all!

He'd heard many kin talk about hunting for many things. Grasses, mosses, bugs and lizard eggs. He hadn't ever heard of someone deliberately looking for a crocodile, though. Most of those encounters were reported as surprise meetings or the unintended crossing of paths, not something someone hoped to go through.

He blinked a few times as she waded toward him, ears flicking forward and back. "Things Unheard," he reported. "And I don't mean to be rude, but ... why do you want to find crocodiles?"
