She'd followed him with as much interest that could possibly manipulate her movements. The time she'd spent between Sylva and Taiga was increasingly growing tiresome, the time not spent practicing with Mother was spent refining her skills in the confines of towering conifers. A break was what she had needed, something other than working, time to just be a young girl. The closest thing to present itself with the promise of a distraction and to catch her interest that day had been the eldest of the boys progression outside the borders of the forgotten forest. Seemingly he has been following the winding river and so she follows him, not really bothering to keep herself hidden amidst the shadows. Quite possibly he was already aware of her looming presence, but he does not show it.
When he emerges from the thinning coverage of the trees, she remains along the tree line, stopping just behind him. Though she remains quiet as he does, her head dips a degree, watching as the large shadow the bay colt casts upon the ground swells and attempts to break away from its roots of its living counterpart. The flat darkness shifts to bend in the direction of the stygian girl, drawn to her lingering presence upon the fringes. She does nothing to control this, it simply happens, having found it takes entirely more effort to keep the shadows from following their natural magnetic course. Of course, she could have stopped it, willed it to stay put, but it just so happened to be the perfect way to fully announce herself, without having to say anything at all.
