Lying low she narrowed her eyes watching a figure walk in. He was tall and his skin was covered in a fine two toned fur. The figure seemed harmless, stepping into a cave like opening. Unable to see clearly she climbed up the wall, she moved across the ceiling. Tilting her head to peer down at him. He uttered something and water came spouting out of the wall.
