( Did it possess something of import?

Emilia turns that over in her head. It was difficult enough to find a pattern with the previous victims, but now a royal and a creature are dead. What do they all have in common? If she was pressed to answer... ) A life force?

It truly feels as though this body was drained of everything. Whoever is killing them, does it need to?

( To survive?

As Caitlyn steps away, Emilia turns back to the creature, mourning the answers it took with it. )

[The lakeside is discouragingly bare, but Caitlyn investigates regardless, retracing the faint remnants of the guards' footsteps, the place she and Emilia waded into and out of the lake, looking for even the slightest hint and finding nothing.]

Or those scales. It seemed protective of them.

Of them, or whomever they belonged to.

( The missing woman is her guess, even as she can't help considering if they are truly scales or mirror shards or something else they've yet to identify in this godsforsaken world. ) It seemed young, didn't it? The creature.

It's hard to say. [She can recognize the difference between a young deer and an older one, but a lake monster? Emilia's right though, it doesn't have the signs of aging she'd expect from an older animal.

She circles back around to its front, frowning at the smell.

The teeth don't look very worn or discolored, no missing scales that she can see. If she had to guess, it does look fairly young.]

I wonder how it came here in the first place.
