[She's late getting there — later than she'd like to be, at least. But back at the camp Sypha has been a quiet flurry of secretive activity, finding a bag for supplies and sneaking back into the remedies tent to collect far more extensive a haul than the meager offering they'd extended to the vampire. She finds some cloths and adds them; she finds a little bread and a flask of water, and whimsically tosses in a few of her candies for good measure. She adds a knife, with some reluctance.
Then she waits, and when activity has returned to the camp as usual, she steals away.
She wonders if he found the note. If he stayed. If he'll just eat her and be done with her, and this was all just a trap all along. Well, so much the better if it is. He can have her, and maybe it will sate him enough to leave the other Speakers alone.
Her sandals make scuffing noises along the dirt path as she makes her approach, and as she rounds the bend to the crossroads —]
Oh —
[If this is a trap, it's a good one. The bait is perfect to have her scurrying over, dropping down to one knee to try to get a look at him.]
This is not exactly what I had in mind when I said to wait for me, friend.
