Somehow this human woman's trespassed into places that nobody has in years.

Aisling doesn't want any more to follow her, but they will. That's what humans these days do with other lost ones, even with how much smaller her forest is than it used to be--send out search parties.

Aisling slips through the dappled bushes to get closer, closer and once she's just on the other side of the tree, snarls.

That should get her running.
