[font=trebuchet ms]After what felt like too long, she was back to patrolling the border.
So long as her left side was facing the outside, her peripheral vision was still functional in watching for intruders. It'd make it easier for a groupmate to sneak up on her, a thought she now had to seriously consider after what Caesar had done- but if anyone else in the clan right now wanted her dead, they'd had plenty of opportunity while she was recovering from her injuries and had turned it down. The odds of being subject to another assassination attempt by an ally were minimal.
But still existent.
The sight of a figure she didn't recognize on the mountainside startled Rin out of her trance. As she narrowed her eye, she could get a better sense of its size and shape. It looked like a small cat, almost pink in color, though she couldn't be sure from the lighting and the distance. More curious was the fact that she seemed to be climbing the mountain without any regard for the borders. If this were a trap, it wouldn't be a very efficient one.
Carefully traversing a path over to the stranger, Rin only occasionally let her gaze flicker up to the other feline before immediately returning her attention to the ground. Her depth perception was still wonky, but other than catching her foot once on a ridge, she was able to spot most of the other missteps before they occurred and adjust her path. Once she was within a small distance of the stranger, she called out, "Hey- you're on Elysium territory. What brings you here?"
