Finally he sighed and looked back at the path. He wasn't going to push it. He was not going to pull her own trick against her; it wasn't in his nature. He wasn't nosy--unless it had something to do with a case.
He kept walking down the path, becoming increasingly more curious as to were it led as he did so. He'd never been outside in the forest like this before, not except once or twice on the edge just to pick at some trees idly. He'd never gone inside of it, never explored any of the small game trails. It was wonderful, but he was growing tired of it.
Just when he was about to turn around and head back "home," something caught his eye. It wasn't anything shiny or anything like that, just different. He peeked through the next few bushes recently overgrown on the path and saw what he thought he'd seen. Past the couple of bushes stretched a small meadow. On the opposite side ran a small stream. He wondered why he, or at least Ruby, hadn't heard it, but then he noticed it wasn't really moving too fast and the forest probably stunted the sound.
Or maybe Ruby just hadn't said anything to him. That seemed more likely.
He stepped around the two bushes and into the clearing. It was quaint, and definitely peaceful. He could hear the stream now and it was quite peaceful. Briefly he wondered if this is where the amphibian had come from, and if so how had he gotten so far away from his home?
He walked further into the meadow, heading for the bank and a rock to pick up and play with.

She shook the thoughts out of her head. Useless to think about. Especially right now. Speed didn't really deserve to have her in some ridiculous crappy mood.
She smiled a little at the little stream as they walked toward it. Streams were nice. They had fish. When they reached the bank of the stream she sat on Speed's shoulder for a few moments then unwound her tail and hopped off of it onto a rock, looking intently at the surface of the water. Sure enough. Brook trout. Yum.
Of course she wasn't particularly hungry. It was just fun to catch them.
She leaned over the surface of the water holding perfectly still for a moment, her paw very slowly creeping over the surface of the water. At the last moment she thought better of it though and sat back, looking at her paw. She didn't want to get wet.
She tapped her paw on the ground thoughtfully then looked up at Speed. Let's hope this worked. She had screwed it up a few times and she wasn't sure how well speed would react to seeing her totally naked in human form. She concentrated on the movement of the water and began to change forms. When the pop that signified the change was over sounded she looked down urgently. Shorts and a black tank top. SWEET! She'd done it right.
She chose not to look at Speed but her hand shot into the water and emerged with a fish, flopping around in panic. She grinned and looked up at Speed as she dropped it back into the water. For a second she thought about saying something corny but chose not to. It was a peaceful meadow, no use messing up the quiet with some pointless and even stupid comment.
She chose, instead, to wiggle into a different position on the boulder and stick her toes into the water.
