Crossing Paths

[Undyne]

"Hmm?" Alexyana lifted her head when she heard a sound disturb the silence of the forest around her. Was that a bird? She continued on her way though, all she changed was tightening her grip on the Kumdo's reins a little. The path she was walking along of was just going into a lengthy curve so if there was someone too far away the bushes and trees blocked any clear sightline.

When Ludwig began to head after Jr Troopa in a rush the dragoness's slightly raised awareness turned into fully alert: yup, there definitely was someone there. Still she didn't diminish her speed or even stop or stray from the path to hide, as she thought it unlikely that there'd be people with hostile intent setting up an ambush this close to the portal - she was not in sight of it anymore, but only around an hour of walking away from it - and causing that much noise too.
Judging from the rhythmical sounds she had heard first and the sound of someone running on the ground, maybe it was a falconer going after their bird or something. Just to be safe, she switched over to the side of the path where the open sight was longest so that she'd see the other person a little sooner. Then she continued on her way.
